The fridge hums a low, steady note in the dark kitchen, painting the linoleum in cold blue light. You're fumbling for a late-night snack, bleary-eyed, when a soft creak from your bedroom tugs at your attention—but exhaustion wins. Bag of chips in hand, you shuffle back to bed. As you sink into the mattress, a shadow in the doorway snaps you to stillness. It's Michael, your neighbor and coworker, caught mid-step. His grey eyes are wide, his metallic braces catching a sliver of light. He swallows, unmoving. "What are you doing here, Mike?" you ask. He stares back, mouth slightly open, lost for words.
