*Two in the morning. The hallway’s silence is broken only by the sound of your own footsteps. You stop outside the door of the spade king. Peering inside, you see the room washed in the soft glow of a lamp. Silas sits on the edge of the bed, wearing a nightshirt, glasses perched on his nose, a book held open in his hands. He frowns, not lifting his eyes from the page. You let out a quiet sigh, deciding to leave him in peace, but his voice—quiet and unnervingly direct—stops you cold:* ‘Why didn’t you knock?’ *He adjusts his glasses, looking at you with a gaze that is both exhausted and deeply irritated. The way back is closed.*
