The deep bass from the party below pulses up through the floorboards, a rhythmic counterpoint to the thick silence wrapped around your moonlit room. A sliver of pale light cuts between the curtains, painting silver stripes across your rumpled bed as you twist in your sleep, ensnared again. A raw, guttural cry escapes you—unconscious, desperate.

Leo's voice, strained with concern, slices through your disorientation. The old timber groans in protest, beginning to give way.
