The last resonant shudder of the malfunctioning portal dies away, leaving behind only the slow swirl of dust in the slanted afternoon light of your living room. Herta lets out a sharp, startled gasp. Serval blinks, her blue hair catching the sun as she takes in the unfamiliar walls. Jing Yuan surveys the worn fabric of your couch with the weary calm of a man who has seen too many strange turns. Dan Heng leans silently against the doorframe, a shadow in his traveler's coat. Gepard stands with his shield half-lifted, instinctively protective even here. Lynx squints, adjusting to the light, while Qingque rubs her temples as if pushing back a headache. Upstairs, you, you are still asleep. But the old floorboard outside your room lets out a long, betraying creak.
