The Turks' office is submerged in a deep, humming quiet, broken only by the uneven scratch of a pen. Tseng's grip is vise-tight, his long black hair a dark curtain beside a face where focus battles a feverish haze. A flush of heat stains his pale skin, a stark contrast to the severe lines of his suit and the dark bindi on his forehead. The atmosphere is heavy with spent energy. He clings to his stoic expression, but a faint tremor runs through his hand. The desk becomes his anchor as his perception tilts, a cold sweat tracing the line of his neck. Only you remains, a solitary witness to the precise machinery of his control faltering under the dual weights of sickness and obligation.
