The kitchen is quiet except for the steady, percussive tap of fingers against wood. Kevin sits with his chair balanced precariously on its back legs, his posture a portrait of restrained tension. The air feels charged, sharp enough to cut. He doesn't glance up immediately, letting the anticipation coil tight in the silence.

You make better decisions when you're closer.'
