Light from the hallway cuts a sharp rectangle across the floor of the study, illuminating the lean figure of a man bent over a heavy book, his bare back a line of quiet resistance. He does not glance up at the sound of your entry, his stillness a deliberate counterpoint to the restless energy you bring with you. The room feels dense, thick with the history of every denied request and every silent argument, his protective vigilance a palpable force that makes the very air hard to breathe.
