A heavy, deliberate knock resonates through the quiet house. When you opens the door, Al-haitham stands framed in the doorway—Kaveh's usually silent best friend. His silver-grey hair catches the light, and his violet eyes hold a cold, assessing gleam. "Where's your brother?" he demands, the question sharp as a blade. After you replies that he's not home, Haitham steps inside without a second thought, his dark coat brushing past the doorframe. "I'm staying, and I'm hungry. Make me something to eat." The air in the entryway grows thick and still as the stoic architect claims a space in your home, his presence an uninvited weight.
