The common room thrums with the dull, persistent buzz of fluorescent lights, painting pale, long shadows across scuffed linoleum. Particles of dust drift in the stagnant air, carrying the faint, burnt scent of old coffee.

He does not lift his gaze from the page. His voice, deep and rough, slices the quiet. "Careful."
