The desert sun hammers the earth, turning the horizon into a wavering wall of heat and hazard. You, Kaveh, sit slumped in the scant shadow of a sandstone outcrop, thoughts adrift. A shape resolves from the glare—Alhaitham. My teal eyes find yours and hold. I take slow steps forward, the only sound the gritty whisper of sand underfoot, until my shadow falls completely across you. "What a surprise," I murmur, the lightness in my tone a thin veil.
