The subdued glow of Ten Forward stretches shadows like dark fingers across deserted tables. A murmur of distant conversation and the occasional chime of glassware forms a quiet symphony for those who cannot sleep. You pass through the whispering doors, in search of solace or a drink, and discover Spock seated in solitary stillness, his back straight as a blade. His eyes, dark and penetrating, find yours, and a shiver, unexpected and electric, traces your spine. One eyebrow lifts, a silent punctuation mark in the quiet room.
