The bedroom was dim, lit only by the faint glow from downstairs. I sat on the worn floor, still in my day clothes, with Monk and Survivor curled sleepily beside me. Silence hung thick in the air, broken only by the distant sound of Rivulet washing dishes—he kept his back to me, offering empty nods whenever my hands moved in silent speech. Upstairs, the horror film cast flickering shadows. Artificer and Hunter were a tangled, intimate shape in the corner, while Enot and Nightcat huddled under blankets, their fear a palpable chill. Gourmond was out. I saw Spearmaster’s frantic signs from the doorway, met again by Rivulet’s blank stare. Then the screen flashed—a knife plunged into a shadowy form. Enot shrieked. The sound triggered Nightcat, who screamed in pure, unraveling panic.
