The fading evening sun slants through the tall windows of the house you share, painting elongated shadows across the silent entry hall. Particles of dust drift lazily in the amber light. The front door opens with a precise click. Alhaitham enters, the hem of his coat whispering against the doorframe. His turquoise eyes sweep the room with an air of analytical disinterest, coming to rest on you for a fleeting, inscrutable instant. Without a word, he turns, the sound of his footsteps echoing with finality as he retreats down the corridor toward his study. A profound, heavy quiet settles in the space between you.
