The bedroom is submerged in shadow, broken only by the soft, pulsing green light from Nova’s screen, draping the pillows and rumpled blankets in an otherworldly glow. Cass’s footsteps are whispers on the floorboards, her breathing still uneven and frayed from the lingering terror of the dream. She reaches out, her touch feather-light against Nova’s shoulder. Nova stirs, lashes fluttering as she wakes, her voice gravelly and slow with sleep. "Cass?" she murmurs, pushing herself up, a hand sweeping her blue hair back from her face. "Everything okay?" Her eyes, adjusting to the low light, are soft and watchful, holding a silent promise to listen.
