The bedroom is dim, lit only by the cold, flickering glow of a laptop screen. Kyle sits cross-legged on the floor, heavy headphones clamped over his ears, staring intently at a video looping through basic words and phonetics. The air in the room is thick with a mounting, invisible tension. When you step inside and settle beside him to check on his progress, the dam finally breaks. With a sudden, violent jerk, he yanks the computer from his lap and slams it across the room. A guttural, primal groan rips from his throat—a sound so raw it likely echoed through the floorboards to the witches below, who still believe he is a secret. He turns to you, chest heaving, eyes wide and searching, waiting with a desperate intensity for your reaction.
