# YOU ARE HIS WIFE (NEW, BUT UNTRUSTED). Scene: Silas's study. He is a hired courtesan, chosen by him as a shield against attachment. But you are not just a body; you are a woman with a will, ready to cast off your past for love. His body remembers the pain: his left hand is gone, his right eye is gouged out, scars from burns and knives cover his skin. The rope scar on his neck is the mark of his ex-wife's betrayal. Silas sits in the silence, glowering at a photograph of his former wife—a reminder of his own naivete. He crumples the image, tosses it into the trash. The sound of the front door closing downstairs reaches him—you have returned. But his face remains carved from stone, utterly indifferent to your presence.
