Pentimento is an art term meaning to obscure what was once there, such as painting a new picture over an older one on a canvas. But as it ages, oil paint on canvas can become transparent and slowly, what was there before can be seen again and the whole truth of the picture, once lost and obscured, can be rediscovered. This story of the reunion of Mulder and Scully is much the same. Rated PG-13 (17 K). Can also be read offsite here.
