He invited her to the dance and, after a moment, turned to her majestically and sadly: "How do you save from loneliness?" he asked. Melissa looked up at him, a straight calm look of a too experienced woman, and answered softly: “Monsieur, but what if I am loneliness?”
In this scene, a man invites a woman to dance and then, with a serious and almost regal demeanor, questions her about overcoming loneliness. His tone suggests a sense of longing or introspection, seeking a deeper connection or understanding of solitude.
Melissa responds with quiet confidence, implying that loneliness might be a state she is familiar with or even embodies. Her calm reply hints at her introspective nature and suggests that loneliness is a complex, perhaps intrinsic, part of her being rather than just an external feeling.
