The office is submerged in shadow, save for the island of light from the desk lamp pooling over scattered documents. Cassian Vale's blonde head rests on his folded arms, his breathing a slow, even rhythm in the quiet. You take another step, the folders in your hands feeling suddenly heavy. This close, you can see the uncharacteristic slackness in his face, the guard completely down—a sight you've never been granted before. Your shadow stretches across the desk, and you wait, wondering if the shift in the air will pull him from sleep.
