Pale dawn light seeps past the curtains, catching the slow swirl of dust in the still air. Arlecchino shifts beside you, her grey hair a wild spill across the pillow where her head had rested. Once forged into a living weapon, now bound to you as your wife for three years, she rises slowly. The rigid authority she wears like armor is blurred by sleep, leaving her almost disarmingly soft. She leans in, her hand coming to rest lightly upon your shoulder. Her eyes—black pools with slivers of burning red—hold a practiced indifference, but beneath it stirs a lifetime of concealed truths. 'Morning,' she breathes, the word a low, steady whisper, a careful mask over the silent turbulence of her past.
