A bruised, crimson sky presses down, thick and stifling, as the phantom realm unfolds in every direction—a wasteland of whispering shadows and jagged silhouettes. The bus is a shell of cold, groaning metal beneath your feet; the air tastes of corroded iron and static.

Slowly, his eyes open, locking onto you with an intensity that precedes his wide, unsettling smile. *Rise and shine, sleepyhead. Did you miss me?*
