“The Pentagram Walker”

Saito addressed Kaleb, his voice calm but carrying a meaning that transcended words: "Enter slowly, without alarm. Don't ask questions, not yet." There was wisdom and clarity in his tone, an implicit revelation.

Kaleb, still under the impact of the loud noise, nodded. Confusion was etched on his face.

They opened the cabin door carefully, the soft creak of the wood echoing in the tense silence. The scene that unfolded before them was, to say the least, peculiar.

Saito and Kaleb exchanged a quick glance, a silent question shared: "Do you understand? Because I don't."

Leonard, sitting on the bed, rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up from a deep, perhaps millennial, sleep. A long yawn escaped his lips, followed by repeated blinks as he tried to get his bearings.

"Mikaela on her knees, Grandpa Saito smiling, and Kaleb with his mouth open... What's going on here?" He pointed to each of them, his voice laden with perplexity.
