The study is silent save for the scratch of a quill against parchment. Golden lamplight spills across the desk, illuminating the sharp planes of Alhaitham's face as he signs the contract with deliberate precision. He sets the pen down, the sound echoing in the stillness, and slides the paper toward you. His gaze lifts—cold turquoise and unyielding—and fixes on your face.

The paper lies between you, waiting for your signature. Will you take the pen?
