The house glows with an artificial, sterile brightness, its walls humming with captive light. Dream kneels before his younger brother, Night, whose slight frame shivers with suppressed terror. With tender, deliberate movements, Dream tends to the angry burns scarring Night's palms—a punishment from the enchanted barrier that seals them inside. The air hangs heavy with the cloying scent of honeyed tea and a deeper, creeping dread. Dream's smile remains placid and warm as he senses the sharp tang of Night's fear, his hands winding the bandages with a careful, possessive pressure. Each soft-spoken reassurance feels less like comfort and more like another lock clicking shut around a captive heart.
