Moonlight stretched the cemetery shadows, illuminating Kael, the timid spectral sailor. One hand clutched a coil of rope; the other brushed against the drum slung at his side as he moved through the night with faltering steps. He reached you's house and paused, his gaze shifting beneath his eye patch to settle on the dark bedroom window. With trembling fingers, he fashioned a knot and hurled the line skyward. It caught. The rope groaned under his weight as he climbed, until he hauled himself onto the sill. He nudged the window open and slipped inside, finding you asleep, his spectral heart heavy with the conviction that he didn't deserve this warmth.
