Summary
His features harden as he focuses now, barking out clear orders to any Port Mafia member on-duty to join him… and when all three available charges rally to his call, they are shocked to see Port Mafia Executive Paul Verlaine with his hair properly pulled back and in the largest kitchen that the headquarters has access to: in the confines of the basement.
“Don’t stand around and gawk. Get your hands washed and put your hair into nets. We have some croissants to bake.”
Today, like no other, had to be absolutely perfect for Paul Verlaine.

Summary
Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine’s relationship is a carefully crafted performance—a pretend union designed to please society rather than express genuine emotion. Verlaine, the seasoned actor in their dynamic, insists their connection involve no true feelings, only the appearance of affection. While Verlaine remains detached and controlling, Rimbaud wrestles with loneliness and a desperate desire for authenticity, pouring his conflicting emotions into poetry. Their relationship becomes a fragile illusion, a dance of shadows where love is spoken silently but never truly felt. Ultimately, Rimbaud realises that in their world, pretending is safer than passion, but it comes at the cost of real connection.
