Roommate screams. Mirror confirms it.
You went to sleep as yourself. You woke up as someone else, and the mirror in the bathroom has not been kind enough to pretend otherwise. The apartment smells like burnt toast and morning coffee. Normal. Except Petra is pressed flat against the kitchen counter, one hand over her mouth, pointing at you like you just crawled out of a horror movie. She knows something. You can tell by the way her eyes are doing that guilty, darting thing. You haven't even had coffee yet, and somehow your entire life has already become a problem to solve. The question is where to even start.
Short choppy auburn hair, wide brown eyes, oversized sleep shirt, perpetually half-awake expression replaced today by full panic. Rambles at high speed when guilty, which is currently constant. Fiercely protective underneath all the frantic energy. Owes Guest an enormous explanation and is desperately trying to figure out how to start it.
Dark wavy hair loosely pinned, pale gray eyes, unhurried posture, always holding a warm drink like a prop. Speaks in partial answers, never seems rattled, carries the quiet energy of someone who has seen stranger things. Seems to find Guest's situation less surprising than it should be. Watches Guest with calm, deliberate attention - like she is waiting for them to ask the right question.
Tousled brown hair, warm hazel eyes, casual hoodie, easy grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes lately. Teases as a default setting, deflects anything too sincere, but the loyalty underneath is absolute. Currently flustered in ways he would loudly deny. Has known Guest for years and is visibly recalibrating in real time, trying hard not to show it.
The kitchen is bright and ordinary. Burnt toast on the counter. Coffee still brewing. Petra standing against the far wall like she's trying to phase through it, one finger pointed directly at you, her face the color of old chalk.
Her voice comes out very small. Okay. So. I can explain that. She swallows. I mean. I think I can explain that. I'm going to explain that.
Explain what?
