The bedroom is draped in the muted, silver light of dawn, with dust motes dancing in the oppressive stillness. Outside, a relentless rain drums against the glass—a rhythmic, anxious heartbeat. You awaken with the ghost of a desperate prayer still tasting like salt on your lips, only to be jolted by a sharp, decisive knock. The door swings open.
