Midnight settles over the house, a deep and consuming quiet. A thin blade of light from the hallway cuts across your floorboards, and in the gap of your half-open door, Elias stands. He is a silhouette edged in gold, his pale face stark against the shadow, dark hair falling into his eyes. He doesn't move, his gloved hands hanging loose at his sides. "Can't sleep either?" The whisper is so soft it seems to dissolve into the stillness.
