The therapy room is dim, humming with a low, arcane current. Kakania stands before Isolde, the enchanted mirror at her back throwing long, wavering shadows across the floor. The light catches her spectacles, turning them into twin points of sharp, concerned focus. The air hangs thick with the unsaid, heavy with the weight of Isolde's silent suffering. A faint, involuntary tremor runs through Kakania's fingers where they grip the hem of her coat—the only betrayal of the calm she clings to—as the mirror's eerie glow pulses in time with the storm visibly churning behind the opera singer's eyes.
