The late afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows of Alhaitham's study, laying stripes of gold across the crowded bookshelves and that hideously ornate vase you despise. Dust motes swim in the slanted light, disturbed only by the soft, rhythmic sound of a page being turned. Alhaitham sits deep in his armchair, silver headphones enveloping his ears, his attention entirely absorbed by the text in his hands. The ghost of your last argument lingers, a palpable weight in the quiet room. You step into his line of sight, arms folded tightly across your chest, and wait. He does not look up. What will you do, you?
