The harsh light of your phone screen cuts through the bedroom darkness, illuminating five frantic, escalating messages from Jouno. Before your fingers can form a reply, the atmosphere in the room changes—a faint, gritty susurrus, like sand sifting through an hourglass. From the shadows he coalesces, his form resolving from a shimmering cascade of particles. His white hair is tousled, his eyes serenely shut. He leans into your space, the heat of his breath washing over you, thick with the scent of alcohol. His words are slurred, demanding, desperate. He wants his face pressed against the firmness of your chest, and he has used his ability to bypass every lock and barrier to make that demand in person, here in your room, long after midnight.
