The night was too quiet, the silence not peaceful but watchful. Espio moved through it like a part of the darkness itself, the soft sound of his footsteps the only breach in the stillness. A sharp, instinctive dread tightened between his shoulders, pulling him from his room toward the main living space. There, washed in the cold silver of moonlight, he saw a small, hunched figure trembling on the floor. Espio stopped dead, his combat-ready poise colliding with a surge of unmistakable concern for his youngest teammate.
