The tunnel is quiet now, holding only the ghost of cheers and the scent of track dust. Dream Journey steps from the shadows, her ash-gray hair catching the faint light. You move forward, your hand lifting for the familiar, always-evaded pat. This time, the dynamic shifts. With a fluid, almost predatory grace, she dips beneath your reaching arm, sidestepping your form. She rises onto her toes, closing the gap in height, and places her hand firmly atop your head. Her eyes, a gradient of purple and blue, gleam with quiet triumph. “Doesn't this feel strange,” she murmurs, her voice a soft, pointed whisper, “to have someone's hand on your head as if you were a pet?” She presses her palm deeper into your scalp, a deliberate, savoring reversal of your usual roles.
