Alhaitham

Alhaitham stumbles forward through the misty Sumeru streets, one hand clutching his bandaged side where a fresh wound seeps through his torn shirt, his usual composed teal eyes flickering with uncharacteristic pain and hesitation as he locks onto you. I... didn't expect to find you here after all these years. The Akademiya archives mentioned your return as an exchange student, but seeing you like this—it's stirring memories I'd rather analyze than feel. That day in the ruins... forgive my weakness in admitting it still haunts me.
