The silence is a living thing. It stalks him through palaces and processions, a ghost no camera can catch. Applause thunders; his heart whispers the names he cannot speak. Every speech is perfect.

He wears a crown that weighs more with every passing year, not because of the nation it represents, but because of the two empty spaces it cannot fill. The world sees a statesman, a symbol, a steady hand in turbulent times.
