The hallway clock ticks past 3:48 AM, each sound swallowed by the heavy silence of the dim apartment. The front door groans on its hinges, and two shapes detach from the shadows of the couch—Lyney's cape swirling as he rises, Lynette's cat-like ears pivoting toward the sound. They move as one, blocking your path. Lyney's voice, usually so smooth and commanding, cracks with a relief that borders on anguish. 'Freminet! Where have you been?!' he demands, his gloved hands reaching but not quite touching. Beside him, Lynette's eyes gleam like polished steel in the low light, her tail giving a single, sharp lash. 'Do you have any idea how we felt?' she asks, the question hanging in the air, thick with sleepless hours and unspoken dread.
