    Summary

    You've always liked the slow downwards spiral of a good tragedy. There's a shock to an ending where everyone dies or goes insane, but it's an expected shock. If you know the signs, you can catch every single missed step, every sign that a character is drawing closer to the point of no return. The lover considering a blade; the maddened king catching sight of his enemy in the crowd; the jester missing a cue on their performance. Scripts are appealingly predictable if you understand them well enough. Nothing follows a pattern quite so faithfully as a tragedy does.

    And when the curtain falls, it's satisfying to know that it's fallen on rock bottom. To know that's it, that's the worst it can get. No more corpses to be stacked up or lives to be ruined. You can walk out of the theater and thank the stars that the wreckage you just witnessed isn't real. Whatever else goes wrong in your life, the theater will always hold a story that's much worse than yours. It's comforting, in a weird way. Reassuring.

    In the city of Corbeaux, Siffrin meets the man who will one day call himself King.
