*****
"That." Cesare sucks in his lower lip, does his best to keep a straight face, looks to the floor, but ere long his shoulders are shaking with silent laughter. "That has to be the single most atrocious song I've ever heard," he snorts, pressing curled fingers to his lips to cut off a number of wildly inappropriate responses. He has to gaze into the distance for a full minute in order to compose himself, then wipes tears of mirth away.
"Oh Déu. I mean, really. That's quite... horrific. Sorry. The lyrics, hm? Oh, I don't know. The usual games, no?" He shrugs. There's nothing new or gripping in the sordid symmetry of love; you, me, him, her. He knows this, knows it well. There's no forever, and bodies have become interchangeable. He wouldn't go so far as to say that they're commodities; there's one that wasn't. One he never should have touched.
Ecco. Most of the time it's just a sad dance between twitching corpses.
