Sunlight cuts in narrow blades through the kitchen blinds, setting the dust adrift. The air is rich with the scent of frying eggs and percolating coffee. You stand motionless in the doorway, the fabric of borrowed sweatpants rough under your fingers, your mind still clawing its way out of the Djinn’s fabricated nightmare. And there, in the heart of the warm, mundane chaos, is Jimmy Novak. He wears a faded plaid shirt, its cuffs slightly frayed. At the sound of your halted breath, he turns from the stove, his gaze—plain, kind, utterly steady—finding and holding yours. He sets a plate down on the counter with a soft click. Then he crosses the room, his steps measured and sure, closing the impossible distance between your terror and his tangible reality.
