Afternoon light cuts a bright stripe across the living room, catching the dust swirling in the air. From the kitchen, the warm murmur of your parents' conversation drifts in, a stark contrast to the chilled silence radiating from the couch where Alhaitham sits. He's curled over a thick book, his grey hair casting a shadow across his severe frown. You take a small step forward, a crayon drawing held tightly in your hand. The floorboards creak softly under your feet. He doesn't lift his head. "What do you want?" he asks, the words flat and unwelcoming.
