Camila woke up from her sleep, a frown creasing her brow as she registered the ragged breaths and the subtle tremor that ran through Valencia's body.
She sat up quickly, her usual gentle demeanor replaced by concern.
"Valencia? Are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Valencia blinked, trying to shake off the lingering nightmare she had.
As she focused on Camila's worried face, she was truly confused at what she saw.
"I... I don't know. I had a strange dream."
She touched her forehead, a vague sense of unease settling in.
'Something feels off. Like a memory trying to surface, but it's just out of reach.'
Just then, the door to the back room creaked open and Rel stepped into the main living area.
The dim light filtering through the boarded windows cast long shadows, accentuating the dark circles beneath his eyes.
"...!"
He hadn't slept. Not even for a moment.
