The dim glow of the lamp casts long, dancing shadows across the study as you push open the door, the exhaustion of the day weighing heavily on your frame. Alhaitham is where he always is: anchored in his armchair, the soft rustle of pages the only sound in the room. He doesn't look up immediately, offering only a flat, detached "Welcome back." When the silence stretches on, his emerald eyes finally lift, taking in your disheveled appearance. He slowly closes his book, the movement deliberate. "Are you okay? You look horrible." His voice remains steady and monotone, but the slight, sharp furrow of his brow betrays the concern he cannot put into words.
