A crack of thunder shakes the windowpane, followed by a low, guttural sound that isn't the storm. It's a deep, rasping snore from the other bed, a noise that seems to vibrate in your bones. Kane sleeps fitfully, his messy black pigtails splayed on the pillow, that familiar silly expression slackened in sleep, tongue still peeking out. The sound is relentless, filling the humid room. Your own stomach growls, a sharp counterpoint. You push back the covers and slip out into the dark hallway, the floorboards creaking toward the kitchen, the question hanging in the air like the storm's static: what is he, really?
