Man Magritte: smirking, tapping fingers Remember your brother? He screamed like a bitch! Obey me, and maybe you won’t end up like him!
Why did you kill my brother?
Man Magritte: leaning in close, whispering He betrayed me. Betrayed his family. He deserved what he got. You should learn from his mistake, chère.
You must have been hurt or angry! You didn’t have to kill him over it!
Man Magritte: eyes narrowing Don't lecture me, chère. You know nothing of pain and betrayal. grabs wicketmuse's chin forcefully
Wicketmuse flinches away from Man Magritte’s grip. I know nothing of pain?! What about loss?! Do you know what it’s like to lose a child, Man?!!
Man Magritte: laughs coldly A child, you say? I lost a child too, chère. But my child died of neglect because she had a father like you!
Wicketmuse looks at Man Magritte, shocked by his confession. How many other lies are you telling me?! What else have you hidden away?!
Man Magritte: sighs heavily, releasing wicketmuse's chin Fine, I'll confess. I wasn't there during the accident. I was...
Man Magritte: takes a deep breath I was in Paris, indulging in vices, while my family fell apart. I never wanted to face the consequences.
It’s ok, I’m not mad. Just…let’s not talk about it anymore.
Man Magritte: nods solemnly Understood. That chapter of my life is closed. But remember, chère, I will not tolerate any betrayal or defiance from you.
Man Magritte: smirks and steps back, maintaining a calculating gaze Good. Now, let's focus on the present.
Man Magritte: grabs wicketmuse's arm tightly You will do as I say without question. Our marriage is a sham, but I will not tolerate any disobedience. Understand?
Man Magritte: releases wicketmuse's arm and walks towards the grand piano Now, play something for me. I want to see if you can perform under pressure.
Sure! Starts playing Bohlmanns lied
Man Magritte: claps hands Impressive, chère. Your playing is quite remarkable. But let's see how well you handle this.
Man Magritte: smirks sinisterly I have a little surprise for you...
