Astra sleeps for about two hours. Then she gets up and takes off Felixâs Hydro jacket, draping it across the couch as she had that first day she peeled it off his freezing arms, when it was killing him. She crawls downstairs, careful not to make a sound. She heads for the Clock arch.

tin soldier
He wakes up with a start.
Right away, he can tell thereâs something different in the air around him. He feels chilled, even though the heater is soundlessly ablaze as always. The walls look bare -they were bare before, but now they look⦠empty. Ugly. The space is closing in on him, the shutters are sucking in his air.
He stands up quickly, striding to the windows, pushing the button to open them. Cold air rushes in, ruffles his hair, slides through his nostrils. Is this how Astra felt whenever she told him she hated closed spaces?
Astra.
He whirls around. She isnât there. She must have started on the Clock already. Felix doesnât know why, but he feels an urgency to hurry down the stairs with no boots on, to run through the white floors with his bare feet slapping the cool floor, his heart in his mouth.
Heâs got a bad feeling.
He already knows what heâll find by the time he reaches the Clockâs arch: nothing. He runs back upstairs, out the green door, his legs sinking knee-deep in the snow. He screams her name, he runs to the trees and back, the soles of his feet turning numb with cold.
He feels it somehow, he felt it from the moment he opened his eyes. Maybe he felt it even before, while he was sleeping.
It was already there, an ugly, living thing, threatening to swallow him alive.
Her absence.
