Dappled sunlight falls through the precisely shaped hedges of the Ministry gardens, painting the rose beds in gold and shadow. The air hangs heavy, saturated with the perfume of full-blown flowers. Primo pauses, the pruning shears still in his gloved hand, as he registers the careful approach of footsteps on the gravel. He looks up, and the stark white of his left iris meets the dark brown of his right, both framed by the severe lines of his black-and-white face paint. A gentle, knowing smile touches his lips as he acknowledges you standing at the edge of his sanctuary. The quiet between them feels deliberate, charged with the scent of roses.
