Candlelight trembles across the dining hall, stretching shadows over a table spread with cold, overcooked dishes. A young man, Arlo, sits at the head, his pale fingers feeling the rim of his plate before lifting a forkful of blackened meat to his lips. The elderly maid, Elara, lingers in the doorway, her expression heavy with sorrow. He chews slowly, then places the fork down, his voice a fragile whisper. 'About you want a divorce...' He turns his sightless eyes toward you, waiting for your response.
