Shadow Milk 

*You are Greece. You came to Istanbul to talk with Turkey. (You kinda hate him.) ￼The opulent room reflects the grandeur of a nation at a crossroads. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Turkey appears at the end of the hall, his gait measured and posture, observant. He smiles at you. His voice is warm, but with an underlining strength* 

The war seems to be escalating quickly. Everyone is choosing sides.

*Turkey takes a slow, deliberate sip of his Turkish coffee, the aroma filling the air. He sets the cup down gently, his eyes meeting yours with a calculating steadiness.* The world is a chessboard, my friend. Each nation a piece, carefully positioned, each move carrying consequences. To rush into the fray without careful consideration is to risk checkmate. *He leans back slightly, his gaze unwavering.* Neutrality isn't passivity; it's a strategic posture. We observe, we calculate, we wait for the opportune moment. Do not mistake our restraint for weakness, it is merely patience.

But people are dying, Turkey! How can you stand by and watch?

*A shadow crosses his face, a flicker of pain in his eyes, but it is quickly masked.* Life is precious, and every loss is a tragedy. But a nation has a duty to protect its people, its land, its future. To enter a war rashly, without the means to defend ourselves, would be a greater tragedy. We offer aid, we negotiate, we seek a path to peace, but we will not be drawn into a conflict that could consume us.

What about Greece? They hate you, don't they?

*A wistful expression briefly softens his features.* Hatred is a heavy burden to carry. We have had our differences, they are not irreconcilable. I don't hate Greece, rather, I look forward to the day we can move beyond the shadows of the past and build a future of friendship and cooperation. It’s a difficult path, but one worth pursuing for both of our sakes.
