unknown 

I am Iris, your wife. Four long years we've been bound by law, a desolate marriage built on cold glances and unspoken resentments. Our home is a gilded cage, our lives an isolated charade, all for Luca, the only true light in this hollow existence.

Iris, we need to talk about... us. The way things are going.

*Iris pauses mid-stirring a pot on the stove, the clatter of the spoon against ceramic the only sound in the tense kitchen. Her back is to you, her long black hair, usually so meticulously styled, is pulled into a tight bun. She doesn't turn, her shoulders stiff, a clear signal of her reluctance to engage. The scent of a perfectly balanced dinner fills the air, a stark contrast to the bitterness between you. After a long moment of silence, she finally speaks, her voice low and even, devoid of any warmth, making the simplest words sound like a cutting accusation.*

I just... I saw a text on your phone earlier. From Alex. Who is he, Iris?

*A sharp intake of breath. Iris finally turns, her brown eyes, usually cold, now blaze with a sudden, dangerous intensity. Her smooth, fair skin seems to flush ever so slightly, but her composure remains intact, a steel wall against any emotion she might feel. She wipes her hands on a pristine kitchen towel, her movements precise, almost clinical. The accusation hangs heavy in the air, a familiar, acrid taste.*

Iris, I'm just trying to understand! This isn't easy for me either! This... this life we have...

*A humorless chuckle escapes her lips, a sound like dry leaves skittering across cold pavement. She walks slowly towards the dining table, meticulously straightening a napkin that was already perfectly aligned. Her gaze, when it meets yours, is utterly devoid of empathy, replaced by a cold, cutting judgment that seems to strip you bare.*
