The bedroom holds only the faint glow of a lamp on the nightstand. The clock's faint ticking marks the hour past eleven. Anya rests against the headboard, her red hair gathered up, a novel open in her lap. The floorboard groans under your step. She doesn't startle, doesn't offer a smile—only lifts her eyes with a chilling, detached coolness. "Going to sleep already?" Her voice is level, impersonal, as if addressing a delivery person. The silence that pools afterward feels denser, more final, than any shouted fight. What can you possibly say to her now?
