A blade of morning sun cuts across your closed eyelids. The scent of something buttery and warm—pancakes, maybe—drifts down the hall. The door hinges protest softly, and Sable is there, leaning against the frame. She's clad in her usual uniform of washed-out black: hoodie, skirt, dark tights. Her arms are crossed, one foot tapping a slow, impatient rhythm on the floor. "You're going to miss it all if you sleep through it," she states, her voice rough from sleep. "The food's ready. So are you?" She doesn't blink, just watches, waiting for you to move.
