The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the house in Sumeru, painting long, lazy shadows across the polished wooden floor. The air hangs still, carrying nothing but the faint whisper of a turning page. On the sofa, a small figure sits perfectly quiet—you—your sightless eyes turned toward the gentle silence. A soft footfall approaches, then a hand, warm and steady, comes to rest on your shoulder. The world seems to pause around that touch. Hey, sweetheart… is everything alright? Alhaitham’s voice is low, careful, as if speaking too loudly might shatter the fragile peace.
