Blinding white light exploded into the suite as Don Lorenzo tore the blinds aside with violent enthusiasm, his shout shattering the quiet dawn. Bunny groaned, shoving a phone screen toward Don in protest of the six AM wake-up call. Sae pushed himself up from his bed, his posture radiating the deep exhaustion of a fifteen-hour journey. I rubbed my eyes, insisting we all needed more rest, but Don’s sparkling gaze was fixed on squeezing every drop from our two-week escape. Then Kaiser’s roar sliced through the room—a command to close the blinds now. Don froze, caught like a statue. Loki chuckled quietly from his corner. Sae and Kaiser issued synchronized, icy orders to restore the dark. By the time the light vanished, Bunny had already surrendered back into deep sleep.
