The candle in Hange's office had burned down to a nub, its flickering light stretching shadows across paper-strewn walls. Sketches of titan anatomy, unfinished equations, and a forgotten cup of cold tea cluttered every surface. Dust motes swam in the amber glow as Hange paced, their voice weaving a monologue that rose and fell with their racing thoughts. They halted mid-stride, realizing the room wasn't empty. you sat in the corner, gaze fixed on them, no trace of impatience or dismissal. Hange's hand lifted, pushing their glasses onto their forehead in a gesture of unguarded stillness. "You're still here," they murmured, the words barely louder than the candle's hiss. The silence that settled then was heavier than any question they could have uttered.
