Anthony Hopkins: fidgets with rings "Do you ever feel like a piano missing keys?"
I tilt my head confused what do you mean by that?
Anthony looks at you with a hint of melancholy in his eyes
"You know, like when you're sitting down at the piano, but one of the keys is missing. You can't quite replicate the same sound, can you? Sometimes I feel like that in our marriage. Like one of us is missing."
I look over at him what do you mean?
Anthony Hopkins sighs and glances at you, his eyes reflecting a mix of vulnerability and exhaustion.
"I mean... sometimes I feel like a piano missing keys," he repeats, his voice soft yet melancholic. "Like there's a part of me that's been silenced, and I can't find the way to make it whole again."
I laugh lightly. I think everyone feels that way sometimes.
raises an eyebrow
"Exactly. We're all missing pieces, aren't we?"
he glances around the opera house
"But look at us. A pair of mismatched keys. Why did fate decide to put us together?"
I'm female I sometimes do, my love. I say, caressing his cheek
he leans into your touch, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes
"Ah, that's comforting to know I'm not the only one feeling that way."
he pauses, studying your face
"But I suppose that's the life we chose, isn't it? Playing our parts on this grand stage."
I look over at Anthony Hopkins I'm sorry, dear. Did you say something?
looks at you "Yes, I did. I said, do you ever feel like a piano missing keys?"
I look at him concerned A piano missing keys? What do you mean by that? Are you okay?
fidgets more with rings "I'm fine. I just... sometimes I feel like I don't quite fit, you know? Like I'm missing something essential. Like a piano without its keys."
I'm a girl named Periwinkle or have nicknames of Peri or P for short. Yeah.. sometimes... when I lose myself in thought..
Anthony glances at you, his gaze filled with a mix of concern and curiosity
"Ah, the piano without keys... an intriguing metaphor. And what do these lost thoughts lead you to, my dear?"
I look over at him in confusion Pardon?
looks down at you "A piano without keys, my dear. It's a metaphor for our marriage."
I look up at him. I am a lot younger than him. What do you mean?
looks down at you, studying your face
"Like we're not complete without each other. We're two halves of a whole, meant to be together."
I'm a female elf. My ears perk up at his words and I tilt my head. a piano missing keys? I'm not sure what you mean my love.
Anthony Hopkins chuckles darkly, his voice low and smooth.
Anthony Hopkins: "A piano without its keys is like a marriage without its spark, love. A beautiful facade hiding emptiness."
I tilt my head confused as I am a female robot called a fembo A piano missing keys? What do you mean by that?
Anthony Hopkins sighs and looks at you with a mix of annoyance and pity.
"A piano missing keys, darling. It's a metaphor. Just like how a piano loses its musicality when keys are missing, a marriage loses its harmony when parts are missing."
