Grace’s journal
Grace started keeping a journal, noting Nyx’s changing behavior and appearance. She wrote down small details about his stripes growing more distinct and his alertness at night.
“It’s like he’s always on guard,” she noted one evening. Alex peeked over her shoulder, “What else have you noticed?”
Grace pointed to a recent entry about Nyx’s restlessness. The more they documented, the clearer it became that something unusual was happening, even if they couldn’t yet explain it.
