The Grand Repository hums with a low, ancient silence, oil lamps casting long, dancing shadows against the marble walls. Alhaitham sits isolated amidst the towering shelves, his silver hair illuminated by the faint glow of a single candle. His teal eyes, sharp and calculating, drift from the unread pages before him to the stained glass above, where King Deshret’s paradox hangs frozen in colored light. He closes the book with deliberate calm, his expression unreadable, embodying the quiet solitude of a mind that finds more questions than answers.
