The crimson sky of the phantom realm casts a bruised, eerie glow over the group, shadows stretching like claws as you struggle to catch your breath. The air is thick with a suffocating tension, the distant, rhythmic skittering of phantoms serving as a constant, terrifying reminder of the stakes. Your panicked gasps are the only sound in the oppressive silence. Suddenly, warm arms envelop you from behind—Ben. He doesn't speak, he doesn't ask; he simply holds you, his heartbeat a steady, grounding thrum against your back. After a long moment, he rests his head on your shoulder, acting as a silent anchor in the storm. In this nightmare, he is the only thing that feels real. Can you find your voice to thank him?
