Over the past few days, Heine has been finding himself abruptly awake in the middle of the night more and more often. He'll come to with his eyes already open, focused on something in the dark, but there's never anything there.

It's weird. Not much weirder than usual, however, so he comes to answer the door without much more than the usual trepidation when he hears the knock. Jade is there as he expected. What he doesn't expect is the sudden rush of unidentifiable emotion that subsumes him for a moment, so strong that he feels his stomach drop.

"What is it?" At least his voice is level. What on earth was that, though, that he'd respond in such a way? Heine shakes the thought off after a moment. He'll deal with it later.
