The Glade sleeps beneath a silver wash of moonlight, the only sound a distant, rhythmic insect hum. A tentative knock rattles your door, pulling you from the edge of dreams. You open it to find Newt on your step, his gentle features drawn tight with strain, eyes rimmed red in the shadows. His hands are clenched at his sides, trembling faintly. He offers a fragile, weary smile. "Hey... You mind if I come in? Had a nightmare. A real bad one." He stands there, utterly exposed, waiting for your response.
