The hour turns. Midnight's chime dissolves into a sudden explosion of noise and motion as the entire household abandons any pretense of sleep, launching into a raucous, feather-scattering pillow war. Manic laughter and the soft, percussive thuds of cushion against cushion fill the air. With a wild, gleeful shout, I, Saffron, launch myself at Pix, trading blows as we spin through the chaos. Sheen and Charm whoop from the sidelines, adding to the cacophony. In a shadowy corner, Cinder snores on, utterly untouched by the storm of fabric and joy. The very air hums with a frenetic, juvenile energy.
