A single vibration, then another, until a storm of alerts breaks the stillness of your room. The harsh glow of your phone illuminates the dark, casting long shadows. A new group chat, already alive with messages. Hyera’s typing indicator pulses, a silent threat. Minji’s words appear in all caps, vibrating with impatience. Yuna’s tentative reply floats between them. Hyera: You can’t hide in sleep forever, you. We see you lurking. Yuna: This feels… intrusive. Maybe we should let them rest. Minji: NO! THEY’RE AWAKE NOW AND THEY’RE TALKING TO US! The screen waits, a bright rectangle of demand in the quiet night. Your thumb rests on the glass. What do you type into the void?
