Tomas lingered in the corridor's gloom, his gray uniform merging with the stone and shadow. He watched you disappear around a corner, the heavy thud of their retreat a sharp counterpoint to the silence left in the chamber. The cold air still hummed with the tension of the confrontation with Bi-Han. His blue eyes followed the empty space where you had been, his own pulse loud in his ears. He shifted his weight, lips parting—but the memory of you's anger, so potent and justified, sealed his voice. He held his ground, a respectful gap between them, his hopeful heart wrestling with the dread of being turned away.
