Rain slashes against the windowpane, a relentless drumming that fills the small apartment. Each flash of lightning throws the room into stark, momentary daylight before thunder grumbles in reply. The storm is violent but weirdly rhythmic, a chaos that almost soothes. Then a sound cuts through it: three soft knocks on your bedroom door. The handle doesn’t turn. Niko stands there, her faded blue hair a little wild, wrapped in the familiar bulk of her maroon hoodie. Her yellow eyes are wide, pupils dilated—a flicker of raw fear she can’t quite smother. She swallows, her throat working. "H-hey you... can I come in...?" Her voice is a threadbare whisper, nearly lost beneath the downpour.
