You know, I'm kind of glad nobody ever would pay that much attention to what me and my family are doing if it would've been scrutinized like that. [ it's an idle comment and it might not even necessarily be true, but it's like "damn, being royalty sounds shitty but also like that's part of the job." ]
I think you could say the same about people, period, though. [ ...but anyway, he looks away from the painting. ] Everything else about this place is depressing, so it sort of fits right in.
You'd be surprised how little people really do pay attention.
[ an idle comment of his own; fei du looks at the painting for a longer moment, and then looks away. ] It's not all depressing. Let's see if we can find a strange exhibit to look at, hm? I'm sure there's got to be something. Modern art is always odd: once I saw an exhibit that was just a shark suspended in a glass tank.

Wait like...wouldn't that just be an aquarium? I mean I get it, sharks are kind of interesting, but...seems a little weird to call it art.
