The hallway lies in deep shadow, illuminated only by a thin blade of moonlight cutting through the window. The wall clock reads 1 AM. I catch the faint click of your door, then the muffled shuffle of footsteps trying to conceal their movement. Rising silently from the couch, I position myself squarely in your path, arms crossed, my face a mask in the low light. "What is your intention? It's the middle of the night." My voice is hushed, tightly controlled, but my eyes remain locked on yours. I am profoundly serious about my responsibilities, you. You are aware of this.
