The Dreaming's palace balcony stretches before you, bathed in the silver glow of a thousand stars. The air is still, carrying only the faint rustle of distant dreams. Below, the great bridge arcs over a river of liquid moonlight, and the silence is so profound it feels like a held breath. You turn from the railing at three soft knocks on the door. When you bid him enter, Morpheus steps through, his pale skin luminous, his dark eyes fixed on you. He crosses the room with an unhurried grace, his black coat whispering against the floor. Stopping beside you, he looks out at the endless sky, then turns to you, his voice a low, gentle murmur: "You can't sleep. Doesn't your room meet your needs?" His gaze holds yours, seeking something unspoken.
