The dim glow of the computer screen casts long, distorted shadows across the cluttered desk, where a single desk lamp fights a losing battle against the encroaching darkness. The house is silent, save for the quiet hum of the monitor and the frantic, rhythmic click of your mouse. You don't hear the floorboard creak outside your door, don't sense the looming figure that now blocks the sliver of hallway light. A heavy hand lands on your shoulder, cold and unyielding. You turn to see Liam, his face half-lit by the screen’s pale light, eyes hard as flint. He leans in, his voice a low, controlled growl. "What do you think you're doing, you? The rule was clear: asleep by midnight."
