The library window casts a long, golden rectangle of afternoon light across the worn wooden floor. Dust motes dance slowly above the couch where Al Haitham sits, one leg crossed, a medical textbook cradled in his hands. He turns a page with deliberate care. A sudden warmth settles against his shoulder—Kaveh's blond head drooping there, feather askew. Al Haitham's teal eyes flicker sideways, his thumb pausing on the spine. He switches off his headphones. "Your dorm is that way," he says quietly, but his arm already loops around Kaveh's back, steadying him.
