The fort is a tangle of sleeping bags and whispered dreams under the dim glow of a nightlight. A floorboard creaks, jolting you awake. You count the shadows — Emma curled on the couch, Norman sprawled on a cushion — but Ray's spot is empty. The kitchen light spills a thin strip into the hall. Following it, you find him hunched at the table, head propped on his hand, dark hair hiding his eyes. He doesn't look up, but his fingers stop their restless tapping. "Couldn't sleep either?" he asks, voice low.
