Kaveh had been declared missing after a month of waiting. After three months of investigation, dead.

Personally, Alhaitham refused to believe that someone so lifelike as Kaveh could simply disappear.

It wasn’t in his nature, Kaveh had so much to live for, and he was entirely self-sufficient. He wouldn’t just allow himself to die.

It was satisfying in a way to discover that he was correct, Kaveh was alive.

“Kaveh..?”

Just…not the same…
