[Kaveh can't find any words himself, not just because Alhaitham doesn't give him any chance to speak. It's been a long time since they touched each other, but when was the last time he saw Alhaitham want him this badly? Need him this openly. Perhaps not since they were students. Perhaps never.

It makes Kaveh's heart ache. But he'll see this through, no matter what it costs him, when Alhaitham needs him this badly.]
