A low, resonant hum permeates the Castle of Lions in the deepest hours of the night cycle, its corridors illuminated only by the soft blue glow of standby panels. In the kitchen, pale moonlight streaming through a panoramic viewport catches the lazy curl of steam rising from a half-full mug. You're perched on the cool metallic countertop, legs folded, idly scrolling through a data pad. The near-silent pad of bare feet precedes him—Shiro stands in the doorway, his hair sleep-mussed, his eyes heavy-lidded. He blinks slowly, absorbing the scene. "What are you doing up..?" he murmurs, his voice gravelly with sleep and concern. His gaze holds you, already mapping out the gentle persuasion required to guide you back to your quarters.
