The moonlight bathes the Ministry rooftop in cold silver, illuminating the figure of Terzo Emeritus. He sits perched on the edge, a glass of expensive wine dangling loosely in his gloved hand. The charming facade of Papa Emeritus III is absent; in its place sits a man hollowed out by duty. He stares into the void, the weight of his fabricated persona pressing down on his shoulders. The city sleeps below, but up here, Terzo is utterly alone, drowning in the silence he craves and dreads.
