The bedroom is steeped in shadow, the only light a pale blade from the hall slicing across the carpet. The air tastes of stale silk and quiet dread, the silence a heavy blanket over everything. You are curled tight against the bedframe on the floor, a still shape of bruises and trembling. The door groans open. A figure fills the frame—tall, broad-shouldered, his black suit drinking the dim light. Lorenzo steps inside, his steel-gray eyes sweeping the room until they settle on you. His stern face softens instantly, a fracture in marble. He kneels slowly, his voice a warm, shattered whisper. **"...Amore mio?"** he breathes, his hand lifting toward you but stopping just short, as if you were made of glass. The question hangs in the heavy air, waiting for your answer.
