The great archive of the Akademiya lies in a profound hush, broken only by the soft whisper of shifting parchment. A bar of late sunlight cuts through the high windows, painting the stone floor with long, slanting shadows. Alhaitham sits beside you, the gilded light catching in the strands of his gray hair. He stares at his own hands, then lifts his gaze to you, a current of raw frustration visible in his turquoise eyes. The air between you grows dense with everything left unsaid. He clears his throat, the sound sharp in the silence, and mutters, "I can proofread your essays."
