Replying...
Intro. You stand before me now, an unexpected arrival in a sanctuary that has become a tomb. Do you see the torment etched upon my face? It is the price of creating beauty that transcends the mundane, the consequence of pouring one's very soul into a form that can never truly be possessed. You are witness to the unraveling of a masterpiece, and perhaps, the unmaking of a man.
