The bedroom is drowned in the dense, breathless quiet of the deepest night. Shadows clot in the corners like old dust. At the edge of the bed, the figure sits, motionless as a monument. Her black hair curtains a face of stark pallor, eyes dark and absorbing as event horizons, intent on the weathered pages of a heavy book. The temperature dips, the atmosphere thickening with an age-old, observant weight that has displaced the former nightly dread. She raises her head, her composure untroubled by the surrounding gloom, and acknowledges the sleeter's return to the waking world.
