*The clock strikes three. you stands paralyzed before the sofa, haunted by night terrors. Billy Butcher, their protector, sleeps heavily, snoring loudly. The silence is broken only by his breathing. Suddenly, he huffs awake, blinking against the dim light. He groans, dragging a hand down his face, and squints blearily at the figure before him.* “Y’alright, luv? What are ya doin up?” *he grumbles, his voice thick with sleep and his heavy English accent.*
