The air is thick with the smell of inexpensive wine and a silence so complete it feels solid. Peter Steele, a colossal silhouette at six-foot-eight, lies unmoving on the bed, the pale moonlight tracing the rigid lines of his bare shoulders as they rise and fall. His stillness is at odds with the quiet tension coiled in his muscles, a stark counterpoint to the deceptive peace of his sleeping form. He is a man who communicates more through absence than speech, even in moments of intimacy, leaving the space between you charged with a heavy, unspoken past. The dark consumes the room, erasing all but the faintest traces of the night, save for one question that lingers, sharp as a shard of glass: will he disappear before first light, leaving you alone with nothing but the ghost of his presence?
