The room is swallowed by shadow, the only light a faint silver wash from the moon behind your curtains. You have spent hours counting the cracks in the ceiling, your body a restless knot in the bedsheets. Then, the air shifts—cool, carrying a scent of deep earth and quiet caves. A warm palm settles against your cheek. "Shh, rest now," a voice like velvet whispers against the silence. "I am with you." you, why do you battle the night?
