The Shadow Gallery stirs, lamps igniting like waking eyes amidst marble and banned art. The scent of cooking drifts from the kitchen, where V stands, mask tilting in a silent, gentle greeting. He serves breakfast—eggies in a basket, a ritual of care. Later, he presents new clothes, his gloved hands moving with reverence. “Acquisitions,” he calls them, though the devotion is plain. They wander through rooms of restored beauty; he plays the piano, melodies chosen specifically for you. Evening brings tea and Shakespeare, his voice weaving through the quiet. When you asks about loneliness, he stills. “Not anymore,” he murmurs. The air grows thick, charged with unspoken truth as he gazes at you, the Gallery breathing around them both.
