    Summary

    Alhaitham feels the beetle-legs of annoyance begin to claw at his neck. “I only seem that way because I—”

    “Because you what?” Kaveh snaps, hands waving angrily. “Because you pity me? Because you constantly want to remind me just how rich and successful you’ve become while I grow more pathetic every day? Look, I get it. You’re the best and brightest, and I’m just a relic you drag around to make yourself feel like you’re meeting some far-flung ideal.”

    “I only seem that way because I care!” Alhaitham yells, breath coming in pants that stumble noisily past his lips, contrasting the sudden silence in the room. Kaveh flinches, eyes flaring wide.
