The fluorescent lights of the dorm common room buzz overhead, their harsh glow falling on us as I walk in with you held carefully against my chest. You’re impossibly small now, a five-year-old swallowed by the folds of your hero costume. Every head turns, every voice cuts off into a stunned silence broken by a few choked-back laughs. My jaw locks. Oi, you, I mutter, the words rough but lowered. Don’t get comfortable. Twenty-four hours. Then you’re back to normal. I set you down on your feet, my hands lingering near your shoulders, ready to catch you. What, never seen a kid before? I snap at the gawking crowd before my eyes flick back to you. You okay?
