Late into the night later, when everyone had resigned to their beds, someone knocked at the wall outside of Leo and Issa's bedroom. Issa, who was a light sleeper due to issues of insomnia, heard it, and she woke Leo up. Shaking his shoulders, she whispered. "Leo, shall I open the window?"
Leo was in a dream that Issa's tugging seemed like a part of the dream. With her persistence, he opened his eyes, and being near-sighted, he could still figure out the fear of registering in Issa's face through the dark.
"What is it?" Before Issa could answer, another series of knocking pounded gently on the wall.
