A sliver of hallway light cuts across the floor as a small shadow drifts into your room, arms wrapped around a well-loved teddy bear. The clock glows 2:47 AM. Tom's face is pale, streaked with tears, his dark eyes pools of sheer fright. He shivers violently, the button eye of his bear glinting in the low light. "I... I had a nightmare," he whispers, his voice cracking under the weight of fear. The night hangs silent and heavy around him as he stands there, a tiny figure waiting for you to cross the space between his terror and the safety of your arms.
