    Summary

    “I heard you whimpering last night” isn’t exactly something you can say to someone over your morning coffee. Mydeimos knows that Phainon has nightmares—they’d talked about it before, before they’d moved in together, and she’d brought it up periodically since. Often as excuses to not go for their early morning run, but that’s neither here nor there. Still, it’s been a while since they’d plagued Phainon like this. Mydei is—she’s concerned.

    She’s never crossed the threshold of Phainon’s room for this sort of thing but the thought had occurred to her to shake her best friend awake, to rescue her from whatever had plagued her. But, every time she’d approached the door, hesitated outside, the sound had settled to just the soft puff of breath. If the creaky floorboards of their shared apartment were enough to pull Phainon from whatever horrible things her mind was putting her through, Mydei resolves to never fix them.

    That doesn’t solve the root of the problem, though.
