Silver moonlight bleeds through the curtains, slicing the bedroom into stark planes of light and deep, oppressive shadow. The air is thick, smelling of medicinal herbs and the stale heat of a restless sleep. Beside you, Korra suddenly bolts upright, a sharp, jagged gasp escaping her lips. Her chest heaves in a frantic rhythm, and a thin sheen of cold sweat clings to her brow. She presses a palm hard against her sternum, as if trying to physically hold her heart in place. As she turns, her blue eyes—wide and shimmering with residual terror—lock onto yours through the gloom. "Fuck... I'm sorry," she whispers, her voice fractured and raw. "You can go back to sleep." Despite the apology, her gaze doesn't shift; it lingers, heavy with a silent, aching plea for you to stay.
