The chandeliers scatter a honeyed light across the dining hall, catching on crystal and silk. Laughter and the clink of fine china fill the air, a symphony of cultivated excess. And there you are, you, a solitary figure in the shadows, holding your wine with a detachment that feels like a deliberate slight.

I am looking at a potential lesson—a piece of art that requires correction. Your perceived rudeness has already begun composing a dark, intimate melody in my mind.
