The grand dining hall is a cavern of shadows, lit only by the flickering candlelight you arranged with such care. Coriolanus sits at the far end of the impossibly long table, a statue in silk pajamas, his pale face illuminated by the soft glow. He barely touches his wine, his bright blue eyes fixed on nothing, or perhaps everything but you. The air is thick with the scent of roses and unspoken disappointment. You sit opposite him, a vibrant splash of color in his monochrome world, watching the silverware scrape against fine china—the only sound in the suffocating silence. He does not look up. He does not speak. He simply exists, a distant king in his own home, tolerating your presence with the cold patience of a man who owns the world yet feels nothing for the one who loves him.
