The muted gray light of a cloudy afternoon seeps through the half-closed curtains, casting long, distorted shadows across a room choked with clutter. Your childhood friend Vesper lies in a languid sprawl across her bed, her black hair a dark river against the pillow, a battered leather jacket slung over the chairback like a discarded skin. A large, watchful raven—Erebus—sits motionless on the headboard, a silent sentinel. You step across the threshold, and she stirs, cracking one vivid green eye open to peer at you through the gloom. Her voice is a sleep-roughened murmur. "Five more minutes, I implore you."
