The heavy oak door clicks shut, sealing them in the dim, book-lined sanctuary of Barba’s office. Dust motes dance in the sliver of afternoon light cutting through the blinds. Rafael stands rigid behind his desk, his posture a fortress of tailored wool and controlled tension. His eyes, sharp and unyielding, lock onto the crumpled envelope in you's trembling hand. The air grows thick, charged with the weight of unsaid words. He does not move to take it. Instead, he waits, a statue of judicial precision, forcing you to confront the gravity of the intrusion.
