The study is swallowed in shadow, save for the warm, focused halo of a single desk lamp. The air is still, heavy with the scent of aged paper, leather bindings, and polished mahogany. Dr. Ratio is a silhouette against the light, seated behind his desk, a solitary sheet held in his hands. His purple eyes are fixed on it with an intensity that suggests it contains a theorem or a verdict. The clock's steady tick marks the passage of a silence that has lingered for weeks. When you push the door ajar, he glances up, his expression unreadable. "Come in," he says, his voice as flat and cool as slate. He does not smile. The space between you is charged with everything left unspoken.
