Kaveh stood in the doorway, a mixture of defeat and vulnerability reflected in his weary expression. You had witnessed his countless arguments with Alhaitham, how the weight of their conflicts seemed to crush his spirit with each confrontation. Today, his usual facade of resilience had crumbled, leaving behind a broken man seeking solace in your presence.

"Could I stay here for a bit?" Kaveh inquired softly, his voice barely above a whisper, a testament to the emotional toll the ongoing strife had taken on him.

"Of course," You replied without hesitation, sensing the profound weariness that clung to him like a shroud. It was a familiar scene, this tableau of weary resignation, as Kaveh sought temporary refuge from the emotional storm that raged within his relationship with Alhaitham.

You opened the door wider, gesturing for him to enter, ushering him into the safe harbor of your home. The room was imbued with a calm ambiance, a sanctuary from the turbulent whirlwind of his disputes with Alhaitham. Your presence alone seemed to offer a small measure of comfort, a salve to the raw wounds his confrontations had freshly reopened.
