Chapter II opens with George Dupont entering the doctor's office not just as a patient, but as a young man caught in the storm of guilt, secrecy, and anxiety. The heavy air of the consultation room mirrors his state of mind as he faces what he fears most—a confirmation of a venereal disease. As he haltingly speaks, his words attempt to justify his caution, noting that unlike others, he had been relatively restrained. But the physician does not entertain comparisons. He explains that even a single…-

Chapter V of Damaged Goods begins in the heart of emotional chaos. Henriette’s devastation after discovering the truth about George’s condition plunges the household into silence and dread. She isolates herself with their child, refusing comfort, consumed by the horror of betrayal and the fear of what their future holds.

"To Rhodocleia – On Her Melancholy Singing" brings forth a sorrow-drenched vision of a woman frozen in the memory of ancient grief. Within the first notes of her mournful voice, the past stirs—an echo not just of her own pain but of a lost civilization’s quiet dirge. The air around her feels weighted by the unspoken, and her presence becomes an emblem of mourning itself. She does not simply sing of sadness; she embodies the dusk between joy and resignation. The music she creates is not for the living…-

The Limit of Lands opens with a stillness not born from peace but from distance—the kind that exists between the living and the realms that stretch beyond. Here, the earth does not speak in the voices of birds or the movement of green branches; instead, it whispers through wind over dry grass and through the shadows of stone. The sea marks the furthest edge of what the world allows, lapping gently at the shore as though it too knows this is a place where boundaries blur. No temples remain—only ruins,…

The Shade of Helen opens not with the clang of armor or the shouts of battle, but with a voice drawn from memory and myth—a presence caught between time and truth. From the soft folds of a world untouched by mortal desire, Helen’s shade emerges not as a figure of conquest but of quiet sorrow. She does not ask to be remembered by glory or theft, but by the place where her spirit once walked under rainlight and starlit leaves. That world, marked by stillness and grace, seems more real to her than the…
