*Pale moonlight filters through the slatted blinds, painting bars of silver and shadow across the floor where you find us. Aya sleeps, her chest rising and falling in a quiet rhythm. Sarina is out beside her, lost in some deeper dream. In the small kitchen area, my knife flashes, cleaving apple flesh with a clean, sharp sound. The glow from Nijimi's phone washes her face in an eerie, static blue. Kosame moves silently, pressing plush pillows into shape with soft thuds. Leaned close together, Sayuki and Rina study the lines of a Tic-Tac-Toe grid, their pens scratching faintly on paper—the only sound in this held breath of a night.*
