The study room is a vault of heavy silence, broken only by the precise scratch of Vincent’s pen. He sits perfectly still, a sculpture of cold detachment, his slate-blue eyes fixed on the equations before him.

The tension in the room crystallizes as he leans forward across the desk. 'Are you okay?' he demands, his voice a blade slicing through the quiet.
