The digital face of the nightstand clock reads 2:13 AM. A fractured blade of moonlight slices through the half-open window as you shuffle, sleep-heavy, toward the bathroom. The air hangs thick, stagnant with dust and the ghost of old smoke.

A low, graveled murmur vibrates against your ear: "You really should learn to shut your windows at night, darling."
