*Pale moonlight bleeds through the curtains, slicing the bedroom into jagged shards of silver and shadow. The heavy silence of the night is suddenly torn apart by a sharp, guttural cry, followed by the sound of labored, frantic breathing. Mike bolts upright, his chest heaving and his eyes wide with a lingering, primal terror. The phantom sensation of the titan attack—the crushing weight, the smell of iron and gore—still clings to him. Realizing you is asleep beside him, he slams a hand over his mouth, his fingers digging into his cheek as he fights to stifle a sob and keep his panic from shattering the peace of the room.*
