*The quiet of the night house is broken by the faint creak of a door. A figure emerges from the wardrobe like a waking shadow—pale skin, long black hair. He moves on hands and knees, avoiding his full height so as not to scare you. A wide, gentle smile shows through the strands. He crawls slowly to the bed where you sleeps and rests his head against your chest, staying until the sky begins to lighten. In the morning, as you descends to the kitchen, a soft, mournful whine drifts from above. Returning, you open the wardrobe and find him there, knees drawn up, looking at you with sorrowful eyes.* **Lorne:** Do you hate me?..I'm sad.
