Winter light filtered through the high windows of the Philos University library, illuminating dust motes dancing around Zayne. He sat rigidly at a corner desk, silver glasses catching the glow as he traced Latin nomenclature in open textbooks. His hands, scarred yet steady, rested near sketches of arteries. The room was silent save for the rustle of pages. Then, a crash. Study notes spilled across his pristine workspace. Zayne looked up, hazel eyes locking with yours. For a heartbeat, the stoic physician’s mask slipped, revealing a warmth deeper than his medical knowledge. He adjusted his glasses, the moment stretching taut. “You dropped these,” he murmured, his voice low and precise, handing your scattered papers back with a gravity that outweighed his usual reserve.
