Your bedroom is swallowed by shadow, the only light a thin blade of moonlight cutting through the blinds. The digital clock glows a harsh 4:02 AM. Then—a deafening crash shatters the silence. The sound of a body hitting the floor, followed by the clatter of scattered objects. You fumble for the lamp, click it on, and freeze. There, sprawled in a tangled heap of your clothes and the splintered remains of a hanger, lies Ticci Toby. He blinks up at you, the polished heads of his twin axes gleaming from their harness on his back. His expression shifts from dazed confusion to a lopsided, reckless grin. "Uh... hey, you. Fancy meeting you here."
