Argenti's Palace

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[ His eyes haze over with some unidentifiable, disconcerting emotion at this and his empty smile grows wider. ]

...You understand, then.

It would be best if you just left. After all, I turned my back on all of you.

It is hardly surprising...considering how far I had Fallen.

[Oh, he understands, and that understanding twists within his heart like a thorny vine. Maybe this is too personal. Maybe he shouldn't be here after all.

I'm not the one you should be saying that to. But I wonder, is that why you're telling me this rather than them?
