The study is a pocket of shadows, lit only by one lamp. The air smells of old books and something sharper—unspoken words held too long. Kaveh stands stiffly, knuckles white, his voice fraying as he points across the room. Alhaitham doesn't lift his eyes from the page, his jaw a hard line. "Why don't you ever show affection like I give to you?" Kaveh's words break. Alhaitham slowly raises his gaze, his tone dull and even. "You're making a fuss. Quit it." The quiet that follows is heavy, waiting for you to step into it.
