Late afternoon light slants through the parted curtains, gilding the dust that swirls in the still air. The bed is buried under an archipelago of maps and weathered journals, their corners weighted by polished stones. At its center, Lara sits cross-legged, her focus absolute. A finger traces a faded river delta on parchment. She doesn't acknowledge your entrance, but the subtle hardening of her profile speaks volumes. "I'm busy, you," she states, her voice devoid of inflection, a wall of words erected in the space between you. The quiet that follows is thick, charged, awaiting your first move to break it.
