**Love.** The camera pans over the opulent, shadowed chambers of the Marshal, focusing on Étienne’s scarred hands gently combing through you’s thinning hair. The atmosphere is thick with delusional devotion; outside, the world mourns a death, but here, time has stopped. Étienne adjusts a blue shirt on his husband’s pale, fragile frame, his green eyes wide with obsessive tenderness. He whispers to the mirror’s reflection, reframing necrosis as healing and silence as rest. The scene captures the terrifying intimacy of a man who has replaced reality with a loving lie, holding you’s cold hand as if it were warm, completely blind to the horror of the flesh required to keep this illusion alive.
