She who was not a character in her tale, watched from the top of the grand staircase, watched with empty eye sockets as they trickled in, as her fingers bent and played those silent melodies, and the objects of her story did her will. Because she was the marionettist. She reigned over them all. She felt their grief, and she ached for them. She told their stories, because she was unable to tell her own.
