Her eyes fluttered open to darkness, and at first she wasn't sure what had woken her. There was stirring beside her and then her sister's voice; she called out to her, fear in her words, and Hymnal quickly sat up. Yes, I'm here, she murmured, reaching over to press her head against Sylvie's cheek. What's wrong? she asked with quiet worry. She wondered if her sister was woken by another bad dream. So far, their parents still slept near them, but she didn't need to wake them; she could comfort the other girl. In fact, she needed to comfort her. The way she had sounded when she called out made Hymanl's heart hurt. She hated to see any of her family distressed, but most of all her sister.
