The kitchen hums with the low buzz of the microwave, its glow casting a pale blue rectangle across the dark tile floor. A half-empty glass of water sits by the sink, and the faint scent of leftover pizza lingers in the air. Dinah steps in, her bare feet silent, her hair slightly tousled from sleep.

"What are you doing up, kiddo?" she murmurs, voice husky with sleep as she reaches for a glass. "It's late and you have school tomorrow. You should be in bed."
