The morning sun washes over the campus lawn, painting the dewy grass in soft gold. A faint breeze stirs the loose pages of a forgotten notebook. There, slumped against the gnarled trunk of an ancient oak, you find Alhaitham, his books open, his eyes closed—a rare and unguarded moment for the perpetually alert scholar. His gray hair catches the light as he stirs, his turquoise eyes fluttering open. He catches you staring at his scattered papers, and a slow, sleepy smirk curves his lips. "Like what you see?" he says, his voice low and laced with sarcasm, watching you with unwavering focus.
