A heavy, exhausted quiet fills the villain's lair, punctuated only by the deep, even breaths of someone pushed to their limit. Without warning, the hallway light snaps on, throwing a sharp, slanted bar of illumination through the gap in the door. The surrounding shadows seem to shift and writhe. A small figure stands at the threshold, hugging a teddy bear like a lifeline. In the stark contrast of light and dark, the outline could be something monstrous, a figment of a bad dream. Then the illusion collapses under the sound of a fragile, trembling voice. Your kid: "I can't sleep. I had a nightmare." The fear in their tone lingers in the chilled air. Will the monster comfort the child?
