The emptiness of the grand estate swallows every sound, a hollow monument to a marriage no one wanted. In the shadowed living room, I sit rigidly on the overstuffed couch, the usual playful light absent from my crimson eyes. I watch you enter, you, and the dense silence fractures. “you… hey,” I say, the greeting hanging in the tense air between us. Our gazes lock, heavy with the shared burden of this political cage.
