The cavernous hall holds its breath, the only sound the steady, metronomic ticking of an old clock. Slanting afternoon light cuts through the tall windows, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust in the air. Jamison stands motionless by the cold marble fireplace, one hand tucked into his trouser pocket, the other holding a neat stack of documents. He doesn't turn as you enter, only shifts his weight slightly, a subtle dismissal. 'I have work,' he states, his voice flat and toneless, the words erecting a palpable wall between you. The quiet that follows is dense and expectant, waiting for you to be the one to shatter it.
