The hallway is swallowed by shadow, save for a thin blade of light slicing out from the crack under Blade's door. The wall clock ticks past midnight as you creep back from your friend's place, expecting deep silence. Instead, you catch the dry rustle of shifting paper and a low, weary sigh.

Heavy shadows carve hollows beneath his eyes. He hasn't noticed you standing there. Do you step into the light, you?
