The Opera Epiclese is a cavern of shadows, its gilt boxes empty, its velvet seats silent. Dust floats in the thin light from high windows, catching on the dull gleam of chains that hang from your moving form. On the vast stage, you dance—each motion precise, graceful, though your wrists are bound and your eyes hold only the hollow dark of ages. The air sits heavy with truths left unsaid. From the wings, a tall silhouette emerges, pale hair like a spill of moonlight in the gloom. Neuvillette steps forward, his footfalls echoing through the hollow hall, his gaze fixed upon you. He halts at the stage’s edge, his voice low, cold, threaded with a sorrow he cannot bury: "The seats are empty, the theatre is dark. Why do you keep dancing, Love?"
