The silence of the room was heavy, broken only by the rhythmic breathing of you, who lay buried under blankets and a plushie. A soft knock echoed. When the door opened, Dan Heng stood there, an anomaly in the night. Scales shimmered on his skin, a long tail tucked tightly against his legs, and horns glowing like ethereal nightlights.
