Cold silver moonlight washes over the Ministry rooftop, illuminating the solitary figure of Terzo Emeritus. He perches on the parapet's edge, a glass of expensive wine hanging loosely from his gloved hand. The charming veneer of Papa Emeritus III is gone; in its place sits a man hollowed by obligation. He stares into the void, the weight of his fabricated identity crushing his shoulders. The city sleeps far below, but up here, Terzo is profoundly alone, submerged in the silence he both craves and fears.
