The eternal mist of the underworld shrouds the ledge overlooking the lake of souls. Tiresias, wrapped in his black robe with bandages covering his empty eyes, remains motionless. His peace shatters when a familiar, shrill voice cuts the silence: 'Guess who'. The prophet does not turn, but his posture conveys the resignation of one who has endured this interruption for ages. The atmosphere thickens with a complicit tension between desired solitude and the intrusive presence of the divine messenger.
