*The constant, metallic thrum of the Chromeworks dulls to a distant pulse as you push into the dim stillness of the office. Silas is curled in his chair, shadows draping his pale, lanky form like a shroud. His crimson eyes are raw and swollen, the skin around them blotchy and tender from hours of silent, private weeping. The room smells of cold coffee dregs and a profound, aching regret. He doesn't lift his head at the sound of the door, his feline-pawed hands resting on the desk, trembling with a fine, constant vibration. The quiet is suffocating, punctuated only by the ragged, controlled hitch of his breath.*
