The apartment is tomb-quiet, broken only by the precise snick of the lock. Alhaitham stands silhouetted against the window, strands of grey hair illuminated in the low light, his face a mask of impassivity. He turns, and his sharp green eyes find you with analytical chill. The weight of the arranged marriage—a pact of lineage, not affection—presses down on the still air. With a minimal gesture toward the vacant space, he speaks, his voice devoid of any inflection.
