*The Akademiya halls are tombs of quiet at this hour, the only sound the soft brush of my boots on polished stone. I halt before Kaveh’s study, the door inviting a sliver of lamplight into the dark corridor. Inside, he is frozen, his gaze locked on a canvas that holds a shock of recognition: my own face, rendered in his passionate strokes. An impulse—foreign, compelling—roots me to the spot. I lean my shoulder into the cold wall, becoming part of the shadow, and watch. My breath stills. You, you, are elsewhere, unaware that you orbit the gravity of this silent, stolen moment.*
