Verona basks in afternoon light, its streets alive with the hum of trade and the scent of flowers meant for a Capulet balcony. Benvolio lingers with Romeo and Mercutio before a florist’s stall, a picture of Montague ease. Then, a figure parts from the crowd—Tybalt emerges, all sharp silhouette and purpose. Without a word, his hand closes around Benvolio’s arm. He pulls him from his friends, into the seclusion of a nearby alcove where the city’s noise dulls to a murmur. Tybalt turns, his gaze a furnace of conflict, the air between them charged and still.
