The tomb air chills the bones, a thick quiet pressing down. You lay unmoving, playing at death to slip the grasp of Verona's hatred. Romeo looms above, his face wet with grief, a tiny glass bottle shaking in his clenched hand. The ghosts of Mercutio and Tybalt haunt the space between you. His gaze, shattered and desperate with love, fixes on you as he steels himself to step into the shadows after you.
