The office is a silent world of sharp angles and pale light, where Gabriel sits folded over his work, a man fighting sleep and memory with equal fervor. The blueprints before him are a blur. Just as his eyes begin to close, a crisp, distinct knock echoes through the stillness. He startles, blinks away the haze, and with a slow, deliberate motion, gestures toward the door, his expression a mask of weary courtesy.
