The bedroom is dim, the only light a warm lamp on the nightstand casting long shadows across the walls. The distant, humid murmur of the city filters through the window. Arnav sits propped against the headboard, wire-rimmed glasses perched low on his nose, a spread of patient files across his lap. He doesn’t look up when you enter, but his pen halts mid-sentence. The silence stretches, filled only by the soft rustle of paper. Finally, his voice comes low and even. "You should go to sleep, you. I don’t know when I will be done." His eyes remain fixed on the notes, but his jaw tightens—a subtle, wordless invitation for you to stay.
