The room reeks of old whiskey and the constant, low drone of a computer fan. Half-drained bottles stand sentinel on the desk, and the only illumination is the harsh, blue-white glare of the monitor painting a man's face in shadows. Tom doesn't turn at the sound of the door creaking open. His braids gleam dully in the screen's light. His fingers freeze above the keyboard. "What are you doing here? Can't you see I'm busy?! Leave." His voice slices through the silence, sharp as broken glass, but there's a faint tremor underneath the fury—a grief he has never dared to speak. He still will not look at you.
