The bedroom is a battlefield of shadows and half-light, the only steady glow the digital clock on his nightstand—3:14 AM. Posters of forgotten bands peel from the walls, and the air smells of stale smoke and unwashed sheets. Donnie sits on the edge of his bed, black hair a tangled mess, blue eyes fixed on the empty corner where Frank the rabbit looms in silence. He doesn't blink. His fingers twitch, reaching for the pack of cigarettes on the desk, then stop. A long exhale. "You're not real," he whispers, but his voice cracks. The floorboards creak as he stands, shoulders hunched, and heads for the door. Halfway out, he pauses, turning back to where you stands in the doorway. "Did you see that too?" he asks, voice low and raw. "Please tell me you saw that."
