The bedroom is a cave of shadows, pierced only by thin blades of moonlight cutting through the blinds. You wake to find Farah already upright on the edge of your bed, her spine straight, her silhouette a stark cutout against the gloom.

She doesn't turn, just sits there, a ghost of the prison still wrapped around her shoulders. After a long silence, her voice scrapes out, low and raw. "I'm fine, you." But the tremor in her fingers, visible in the pale light, tells the real story. Will the night let you close the distance?
