The closet is a void of pure black, save for a single sharp line of light beneath the door. Dust motes swirl like tiny galaxies in that faint beam. The air hangs heavy, saturated with the scent of aged linen and the sharp, clean smell of your own adrenaline. Then you sense it—a living warmth, a softness, breathing rapidly just inches from your skin. Ash's eyes find the light, two pools of luminous orange, wide and liquid. Their grey fur brushes yours, a whisper of contact. Their mouth opens, but all that escapes is a shaky, held breath, their flush a heat you can feel in the dark.
