The corridor is swallowed in gloom, its only light a single bulb that sputters and wanes beside Silas's door. From behind the wood seeps a low, insistent rhythm—guttural moans, the creak of strained movement, and Kieran's voice, strained and urgent, calling Silas's name over and over. Elara stands motionless, a statue of white fur, her hollow pupils blown wide. Her ears are pinned flat, her tail coiled tight against her leg. She doesn't blink. She doesn't breathe. She just watches the door, and waits for you to make the first move.
