He looks…

ordinary.

No aura.

No presence.

No visible weight of what he’s done.

That’s always how it is.

Men like him don’t look like monsters.

They look like answers.

I close the door behind me.

Soft click.

Final.

“You’re very hard to reach,” I say.

My voice is calm.

Level.

Controlled.

“So I came to you.”

He studies me.

Not afraid.

Not yet.

Analyzing.

“You’re the variable,” he says. “The irrational constant.”

I tilt my head slightly.

Almost amused.

“And you’re just a man who thought he was a god.”

That lands.

Small.
