"What about earlier?" 

Ambryan walked into the room. He sat on the swivelling chair and crossed his legs. His choice of clothes matched the color palette around him. He could be a statue amidst the furniture.

Ambryan stared at the floor. He laced his hands and raised them to the level of his chin. His scattered thoughts began to form. They filled the darkness in his mind, coloring it with events from earlier. 

Words created paragraphs about his reason but he would never admit it.
