Superhero monologue: Luca

Superhero monologue, grounded, heavy, and lonely

Prompt: A low, weary male superhero-monologue voice delivering a hero's private reckoning with the cost of the cape. His resonant baritone moves through duty, loss, and doubt with grounded gravity, the tone of a legend exhausted by the weight of being needed. There's heavy responsibility and buried loneliness in his tone. The voice of the deconstructed superhero drama. They think being a hero is the fighting. It's not. It's the funerals. It's always the funerals.

Script: Everyone thinks the hard part is the fighting. The monsters, the villains, the building falling that you have to catch. It's not. I can lift the building. What I can't do, what no one warned me about when I first put on the cape and believed I could save everyone, is the funerals.
