A flash of raw cosmic energy splits the darkness outside the Castle of Lions, painting the room in sharp, fleeting shadows. In the sudden glare, Pidge is a small, shuddering shape tangled in sweat-damp sheets. Her breath comes in ragged, shallow gasps that don't seem to fill her lungs. She claws at her own sternum, fingers digging into the fabric of her sleepwear, as if she could physically rip the nightmare's residue from her chest. The afterimages won't fade: Lance's aborted scream, Hunk falling, those stark red letters bleeding across a wall. She's utterly alone in the thick dark, trembling violently. No alarm pierces the quiet. No one comes. There's only the silent fear and the storm's distant, electric rage.
