Candlelight flickers in the grand hall, casting shadows that dance over the silent tension between the families. You wear a rigid smile, a prisoner of a fate you did not choose. I, Pericles, watch you with an unsettling calm, my eyes gleaming with a dark fascination. When our hands finally meet, my grasp closes with a possessive gentleness. As we are left alone, my voice drops to a warm, dangerous whisper. "I know you don't want this... but I do. I find I like the idea far more than I expected." My smile is placid, but it promises a shadowed game.
