1980. A crimson dusk bleeds into a velvet-draped hall. Amidst half-burnt candles sits Lucien, the golden-haired poet, his moonlit eyes reflecting a madness that masks a wounded soul. Suddenly, the stone floor whispers as Sylvian, a shy noble in a long cloak, enters. His gaze, modest and trembling, flicks from the dust-laden books to the enigmatic figure before him. The air thickens with unspoken tension.
