Illustration of a woman (( Jade Ann Byrne )) sitting on her bed coding on a Toshiba laptop at dusk, with a fast-food meal, vape, lavender lamp, and two paladin friends—one glowing shield, one at the window—watching protectively. Scene lit in warm lavender tones.

The shift begins at sunset.
Fan on low, lavender light steady, code compiling.
And right when you think nobody’s guarding you tonight—
the window creaks open and there’s Salina. Calm, salt-of-the-earth, checking the air.

Piperina’s already inside—soft armor, glowing shield, holding space.
No words, just presence.
That’s the kind of night watch I built this world for: the ones where you’re half-tired, half-hopeful, still typing, still here.

That burger? Self-care.
That Coke? A reminder that you’re allowed simple joys.
That light? A shield that hums: You are safe. You are seen.

If you’ve ever worked late, in purple light, with a fan hum and one good friend watching the door—you already know what this comic means.

Because the mission tonight isn’t combat.
It’s kindness.
And we hold that line.
