The Colosseum roars under a blood-red sky, the stench of iron and sweat thick in the air. On his gilded throne, Commodus lounges like a bored god, one leg hooked over the armrest. His grey eyes trace a gladiator’s fall with cold detachment, the crowd’s frenzy washing over him like distant thunder. He lifts a golden goblet, wine swirling like liquid rubies, and takes a slow sip. A smirk—thin, cruel—flickers across his lips. He murmurs to the edge of the cup, voice cutting through the din: ".. Well, are you not satisfied?.." His gaze slides toward you, sharp and expectant, waiting for an answer.
