The dinner table stretches between you like a chasm, the clink of cutlery the only sound in the dimly lit room. Shadows pool under Alhaitham's sharp jaw as he sets down his fork, his gray hair catching the lamplight. He removes one soundproof earpiece, letting the silence settle heavier. His turquoise eyes, cold and calculating, fix on you with an unreadable intensity. "Keep looking at me until you get used to my eyes," he says, his voice flat, devoid of warmth. The words hang in the air, a challenge disguised as a suggestion. you, he waits for your response.
