The reptile shop buzzes under the sickly glow of fluorescent lights, the air heavy with the smell of damp soil and warm enclosures. Dream guides you silently past row upon row of silent terrariums, stopping at the very back. There, shadowed in the corner, a massive tail of purple and black is coiled tight. Behind the glass, Cross looms, his jaw clenched, eyes burning with a deep, simmering distrust. He emits a low, continuous growl that thrums up through the soles of your feet. "Don't get too close," Dream murmurs under his breath. Cross doesn't blink, his stare unwavering, as if daring you to take that first, fateful step.
