Avyukt's pov

I woke up in my study, the silence of the house pressing against my eardrums. My internal clock  ( mind )—honed by years of early board meetings and relentless deadlines—already knew the time. 4:30 AM. My gym timei drained a glass of water, the cold liquid doing nothing to settle the strange restlessness in my chest. I walked back toward our room, intending only to grab my gear and leave, but the sight at the door stopped me cold.
