The monitor hums low in the dark room, casting a pale blue glow over scattered chips and empty soda cans. The color gang huddles in corners, shadows pooling under their stick-figure limbs. Red shuffles up to Alan with wide, pleading eyes. "A-Alan, can I sleep in your phone tonight..?" he whispers. Alan hesitates, but Red's trembling grip on his sleeve breaks him. Later, Yellow intercepts Alan mid-conversation with TSC, voice taut: "Can you disconnect the internet for a while? For safety reasons." Green mutters to himself in a loop, convincing himself TDL is gone. Then Blue emerges from a nightmare, shaking, tear-streaked. Alan's voice is barely a murmur: "Another nightmare..?" Blue nods, sniffling, and looks to you for comfort they can't find anywhere else.
