The late-afternoon sun filtered through your bedroom curtains, illuminating lazy motes of dust drifting in the still air. The clean scent of shampoo lingered from your shower, a peaceful moment shattered by your mother's trembling shout from down the hall. "Sweetheart, come quick!"

"Is this… your world?" he asked, his voice low and wary.
