[Kesara has always been a light sleeper, and more than ever in Norbinfury. When the tablet beeps, she sits up almost at once, though she rubs her face and yawns. Calls deep in the night are not that unusual, and at the sight of Jim's name she feels a leap of excitement. He's found something! That must be it.

When she appears in response, a few minutes later, her excitement wavers on the edge of alarm. She's still pushing sleep-rumpled hair away from her face, peering down with mounting tension at the corners of her eyes and mouth.]
