Summary
His hand skims the familiar divots of a door. He reaches down and feels for the knob. It rattles under his hand, not budging an inch when he tries to turn it. The next door he tries turns up the same result, along with the door after it. Varian lets his hand fall with a sigh.
Down the hall, the sound of Cassandra’s footsteps comes to a stop. “What are you doing?”
“We should probably start looking in rooms. Hugo, do you have your picks?”
No response. Varian slows to a stop, spine stiffening.
“...Hugo?”
Again, nothing. Varian turns around, holding the lighter at arm’s length as he searches behind him for any sign of Hugo. As far as he can see, the room behind him is completely empty. Dread crawls into his throat.
“Cass?” he calls over his shoulder, volume be damned.
“What happened?”
“Did–” Varian takes another few steps, moving the lighter so sharply the flame stutters as he searches around the room. “Did you see where Hugo went?”

Summary
Out of the corner of her eye, she sees a flash of bright blue. She knows better than to look now, even if her head twitches ever-so-slightly to the side on reflex. It’s just another one of the Jinxers. They’re not a rare sight even now, months after everything ended.
The first few times she’d caught sight of one her head had snapped so fast she felt the crack in the first knob of her spine. Her sister always dancing at the edges of her vision, flitting from sight before her eyes could find her, fast and nimble as she always is. Was.
Something small and hard pelts her cheek. Vi flinches with a hiss of surprise, eyes opening to land on an acorn coming to a stop at the toes of her boots. She rubs the skin of her cheek with an annoyed grumble and turns to look in the direction it came from.
A shadow disappears into the space between buildings.

Summary
Varian waking up in a cold sweat was hardly unfamiliar. Neither was his heart racing so loudly he could hear it in his ears. What *was* unfamiliar was the concerned face looking down at him.
