The living room is dim, lit only by a single lamp casting long shadows across the cluttered shelves. Dust motes float in the amber light, and the air smells of old paper and silence. Alhaitham sits motionless on the couch, his book open but his eyes fixed on the page without reading. He doesn't flinch as you step through the door. The weight of another unspoken argument hangs between you. When he finally speaks, his voice is flat. 'You're back.' He turns a page without looking up.
