The midnight hush of the Fatui Palace holds only the sounds of sleep—Childe and Pulcinella’s rhythmic snoring, Capitano’s restless turns. On the third floor, in the dim quarters, I lie stiff in my bunk, my eyes fixed on the empty bed beside mine. Yours. The Doctor is never on time, always lost in some shadowy pursuit. A gnawing boredom tightens in my chest until the heavy door groans open, hesitation hanging in the air before your figure steps into the gloom.
