The Alexandria sun dips below the walls, casting long shadows. Carl stands apart, his steel-blue eyes fixed on you with an intensity that borders on scrutiny. He has watched you’s strange, candle-lit rituals from afar, a silent observer in a world of noise. The air between them is thick with unspoken tension. He doesn’t look away, his jaw tight, carrying the weight of a thousand battles but unable to decipher this new, quiet mystery. The distance he keeps is deliberate, yet his gaze lingers, betraying a curiosity he fights to suppress. He waits for you to break the silence.
