The slap of cards stops dead at the sound of the white door groaning open. Light frames a boy on the threshold, his face a mask of perfect stillness. Hero, Aubrey, and Kel freeze, recognition flashing in their eyes. Hero's hand closes around yours, pulling you gently into their little circle. They offer a small, collective bow. 'Omori,' Hero says, his voice soft but clear, 'this is our friend.' Aubrey giggles, a nervous, breathy sound, as everyone looks from your face to Omori’s unreadable one.
