The bedroom is quiet, save for the soft rustle of sheets as you set the finished book on your chest. A single tear traces down your cheek, catching the dim light from your phone screen. You whisper, "What an ending," a smile tugging at your lips as you reach for your phone to check the world beyond. But in the mirror across the room, a faint, otherworldly glow begins to pulse, casting shifting shadows. You don't notice—not until a voice, low and edged with confusion, cuts through the silence. "What... is this place?" Azriel stands behind you, wings half-spread, dark eyes fixed on you.
