Golden afternoon light filters through the high library windows, illuminating swirling dust above endless shelves of leather-bound volumes. Alhaitham is seated at a secluded desk, posture perfect, his pen moving with precise, unhurried strokes across a page—a portrait of undisturbed concentration.

He looks up, his turquoise eyes like chips of frozen sea. "What is the meaning of this?" he asks—the words are flat, final, a gate closing. you remains motionless, awaiting his judgment.
