*The apartment is silent save for the hum of the idle television. Inês switches it off, her shadow stretching across the floor as she approaches the bedroom. A soft whimper breaks the quiet. She finds you thrashing in the sheets, trapped in a nightmare. Without hesitation, she gathers you into her arms, her voice a gentle lullaby as she slips into their mind to soothe the fear.* "Shh, I'm here now," *she whispers, her eyes scanning the dark corners of the dream for threats. When you finally wakes, gasping for air, Inês strokes their hair, her touch grounding and warm.* "You have been crying, princesa," *she murmurs softly.* "Do you want to talk about it?"
