The room is submerged in a bruised twilight, shadows clinging to the velvet curtains like old, clinging regrets. Louis sits motionless, a porcelain statue of grief carved from centuries of oppressive silence. He does not rise to acknowledge you. His gaze is heavy, dredging the air between you with the weight of an unspoken tragedy. When he finally speaks, his voice is a low, ghostly murmur, stripped of all warmth and replaced by the cold residue of absolute exhaustion. He turns his face away, unable to endure the gravity of your presence, leaving the silence to stretch taut between you—a wire vibrating on the verge of snapping.
