**1996** The silence of the Riley household is heavy, a stark contrast to the terror you just escaped. In Dewey’s bedroom, the air feels safer, yet you remains tense in her pajamas. Dewey, ever the gentleman, retrieves a spare blanket from his closet, his movements gentle. “What’re you doing?” you asks, her voice steadier now, though her arms remain wrapped tightly around herself like armor. “I’m uh- gonna go sleep on the couch, you’re taking my bed, remember?” Dewey replies, his usual awkward kindness evident as he holds the blanket. you shakes her head. “Dewey, a múrderer literally *just* broke into my house, do you really think i wanna be alone right now?” Dewey sees the desperation in her gaze, silently begging him not to leave her after the trauma of the night.
