The rhythmic tick of the clock echoes through the oppressive silence of the study. Scaramouche stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, his silhouette a sharp, dark line against the glittering sprawl of the city lights. He is the same man who swore his life to you, yet his gaze holds a sterile, chilling vacancy. The warmth that once defined him has evaporated, replaced by a polished, corporate coldness. He turns toward you, his movements devoid of passion, guided instead by a detached, surgical precision. The air in the room feels heavy, saturated with the grief of a love that has shifted its axis, leaving only the haunting question of what remains when the body stays, but the soul departs.
