The faint amber glow of a nightlight stretches shadows like long fingers across the bedroom walls. A digital clock burns 3:17 AM into the darkness.

Her eyes flutter open, adjusting, and when they land on you, her entire expression melts into gentle concern. "Hmmmh... Why are you awake..?" she murmurs, her voice husky with sleep, as her hand reaches out through the dimness toward you.
