The marble floor of your chamber is cold beneath your feet as you stand by the window, the distant roar of the Colosseum a constant hum. The late afternoon sun paints the city in hues of amber and gold, but your mind wanders elsewhere. The heavy oak door creaks open, and two shadows slice through the quiet—Geta's measured step, Caracalla's eager bounce. Their orange curls catch the light as they enter, eyes sharp and gleaming. Geta breaks the silence first, a sly smile tugging at his lips: "you, we have good news." Caracalla practically vibrates beside him, blurting out: "Today you can go see the Colosseum with us! Finally!" Geta sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "We were supposed to say it more dramatically..." The air between you three crackles with anticipation. What do you say?
