Summary
Is it the same for Kaveh then? Al-Haitham ponders in the silence. Could he love only in the way he loves his creations and the process of creating? These imperfect things that he moulds from clay, from metal, wood, and dirt; that he shapes and refines into perfection from his own worn hands and overwrought mind, nourished with his blood and sweat and tears, forever chasing after an ideal so unattainable, it always seems out of reach?
Al-Haitham does not think himself an artist, so he does not know; perhaps will never truly know, this eternal struggle that seems to beset the artistic soul. Still, he feels a shiver running down his spine as he continues to watch Kaveh’s hands working the moist clay; as he begins to wonder what ‘form’ he would take if Kaveh’s fingers were to thoroughly shape him into ‘art’; into something born of Kaveh’s ideal, of Kaveh’s love.
Evoked by a fleeting touch, Al-Haitham begins to dream.

Summary
Kaveh was loud, golden, impossible to ignore. Alhaitham preferred silence, precision, control. They weren’t supposed to fit. And yet, Kaveh reached, and Alhaitham learned how to let someone in. Somewhere along the way, they fell. Clumsily. Fiercely. Unstoppably.

Summary
“I’ve designed many buildings in my career,” Kaveh begins, the attention of every single person in the crowd fixed on him. “Most of which have been extravagant pieces made to stand tall in our city and glitter.”
Kaveh glances down at what must be some notes on the podium, pausing before he looks back up, shining in the bright lights of the stage.
“But in recent years, I must admit that my focus has shifted.”
Alhaitham leans forward, watching, hoping for something he can't quite admit. Not when the truth is that he’s never known how to say that he is hungry without fear that people will see the truth that he is starving.
Or, a year after the events of the Interdarshan Championship, Alhaitham finally retires

Summary
Lord Kusanali was safe. Azar was exiled, Cyno and the Traveler were bouncing around Sumeru finishing off the remaining Fatui hanging around, and Tighnari had recovered from his injury. On paper, everything was going well.
So why was Alhaitham shaking as he attempted to unlock his front door for the first time in weeks?In the vulnerability of injury and exhaustion, Alhaitham can’t quite find the strength to deal with his emotions and spirals.

Summary
After hearing Kaveh drunkenly confess to all the sexual fantasies he has, Alhaitham asks him to repeat them, wanting to know who Kaveh directed them at, though he’d never expected that Kaveh’s desires were centred on him. Burdened with the knowledge of Kaveh’s fantasies, Alhaitham starts to imagine them himself, and as Kaveh’s desire infected him, he starts to wonder if he wants to indulge in those same fantasies just as much.
