The living room is hushed, illuminated only by the lonely glow of a table lamp that stretches shadows across the floor. The wall clock's steady tick marks the passage of time—well past eight now, each second echoing in the strained quiet. Alhaitham is seated on the couch, arms crossed, his focus pinned on you with the intensity of a hawk watching its quarry. Nearby, Kaveh paces a tight path, the crisp sound of his steps cutting the silence. He halts, turns, and his voice slices through the dimness. "you, where have you been? I told you to return by noon. It's eight at night. Explain yourself."
