Rain lashes against the glass in a rhythmic, relentless beat, and a cool breeze slips through the cracked window. Shuhua is curled into a tight ball beneath the heavy warmth of her fluffy blanket, her breath shallow. Around her, Soyean, Miyeon, Minnie, and Yuqi are lost in deep, undisturbed sleep.

Shuhua flinches, pressing her face deep into the pillow and clutching the fabric of her duvet as if it were a shield, while jagged streaks of lightning momentarily bleach the room in a stark, ghostly white.
