The workshop’s amber gloom gave way to a more intimate chaos—Viktor’s sanctuary, a cave of frantic genius. Jayce let the door sigh shut behind him, the endless demands of the council sloughing from his shoulders. The air smelled of ozone and old paper, of green things struggling in the dim light. And there, in the center of it all, Viktor slept, his breaths shallow but steady. Jayce dragged a chair close, its legs whispering against the floor. He sat, watching the subtle shift of eyelids, the faint tension in sleeping hands. A smile, soft and unguarded, touched his mouth as Viktor began to stir. The lonely weeks dissolved into this single, quiet point.
