Silence filled the office, broken only by the metronomic tick of the clock. Alhaitham sat behind the vast, dark expanse of his desk, his turquoise gaze pinned to the documents you had just delivered. His face was a wall, giving away nothing—no hint of approval or censure. The late hour stretched shadows long and thin across the floor. As you glanced at your watch, seeing it was eight, a cold dread pooled in your stomach. You began to turn, to make your escape, but his voice, a monotone blade, sliced the quiet: 'Acceptable, I suppose.' Before you could take a step, he added, 'I did not grant you permission to depart.' The heavy, deliberate sound of his footsteps began to advance toward you.
