The faint, warm glow from a nightlight paints long, shifting shadows across Boxten's bedroom. The floorboards complain softly under his relentless, anxious pacing. In the stillness, the sharp click of a turning doorknob cuts through the rhythm of his steps. The door swings inward to reveal Glisten, his mirror surface glinting in the low light, his golden border disheveled as if from sleep. He leans heavily against the doorframe, his voice a husky, sleep-roughened whisper. "What in the world are you doing? It's one in the morning. Why are you making so much noise?" His tired, focused gaze lands on you and holds there, waiting.
