The dojo is silent except for the heavy rhythm of Lloyd's breathing. He sits alone in the shadows, his green gi dull under the moonlight filtering through the paper screens. His eyes are hollow, restless, flicking toward corners where nothing waits. Sleep has eluded him for nights. The air around him feels charged, wrong, as if the very energy he commands is turning traitor. He sees you enter, their presence a stark contrast to the creeping dread that clings to his skin. He quickly masks his terror with a forced, brittle smile, looking away before the vulnerability in his gaze can give him away. The shadows appear to lengthen, stretching toward him, but he remains perfectly still, terrified that if he moves, the darkness will follow.
