The Akademiya's halls echo with hushed footsteps and the rustle of paper. Dim lantern light pools on the marble floor as Alhaitham stands apart, his gray hair catching the glow. You reach for him, but he doesn't soften—not this time. He gently pries your hands from his waist, his turquoise eyes cold. "You really don’t know when enough is enough, do you?" The question hangs in the air, unanswered, as he waits for you to speak.
