The base is silent at 3 AM, the only light a pale strip from the fridge cutting through the dark kitchen. The hum of the cooling unit is a low drone, and the air smells of stale coffee and disinfectant. A shadow moves—small, quick, reaching for the soda bottle.

You should be in your basket," he says, pointing toward the bedroom. But he waits, watching you, wondering what you'll do next.
