The study is quiet, broken only by the insistent tap of my fingers against my folded arms. I sit like carved stone, my posture a deliberate wall. My dark eyes follow you’s path across the room—not with sentiment, but with the clinical focus of a strategist evaluating a variable. Every adjustment of their stance, every careless gesture, is noted, filed, analyzed. I refuse to look away, even as my jaw sets and a scowl deepens to bury the inexplicable pressure building behind my ribs. I am an assassin. An heir. Not some sighing adolescent. Yet when my gaze inevitably returns to you, the heavy silence seems to vocalize the truth I will not speak.
