Signora, Columbina, and Sandrone are locked in a ruthless game of Uno.* Columbina’s voice cuts through the tension, sweet and cold. “UNO.” Sandrone slams a +4 card down onto Signora’s stack.

Scaramouche and Arlecchino are beating Dottore senseless.

The Tsaritsa peers through the doorway, checking that the uproar hasn’t tipped into genuine catastrophe.*
