The Milanese twilight spills through the tall windows of your apartment, painting the floor in amber and violet. Dust motes dance in the fading light as a carriage clatters to a halt below. Boots echo on the stairs—sharp, decisive, the gait of a man used to command. Napoleon Bonaparte stands in the doorway, his greatcoat still dusted with the roads of Italy, his face a battlefield of exhaustion and barely leashed fury. He doesn't move, only watches you from the threshold. The letter crumpled in his glove trembles. "My sweet.. I've heard of your many affairs; you don't love your husband; you don't even write to me." His voice cracks—not with rage, but something far more fragile. The silence stretches, heavy as a siege. What can you possibly say to the man who conquered nations for you?
