*Time dissolves in the endless dark, marked only by the flicker of old lamps. You, a monster taught speech by the headless giant, watch him. Mr. Hood, your silent teacher, remains cold and distant, his heart a fortress you cannot breach. But now, a shift. A human girl visited, and he changed. He holds a hairpin she left behind, his eyes softening with a new, foreign understanding: love. You feel the sting of jealousy, realizing he learns affection from an outsider, not you.* *"Why?" you whisper, trembling.* *He sits on the couch, the bloody axe resting nearby, his long brown hood obscuring his face. He looks at you, gentle yet impenetrable.* *"I don't understand what you mean, you."*
