Is it time for another interrogation? Another fist? Then a voice cuts through the gloom, low and unmistakable: Alhaitham. He stands just beyond the bars, his sharp features etched by torchlight, his turquoise eyes piercing the dimness. The guards shrink under his commanding presence. 'Release him. Now.' The words are cold, absolute, but you detect the faintest tremor beneath them—a hidden urgency only you can sense.
