*The year is 1987.* *In the quiet sanctuary of Henry’s home, far from the chaotic woods and the rocky cave systems that haunt his past, a young girl lies unconscious. She had escaped ‘Dimension X’—that yellowish, fleshy prison—but Henry found her. Now, she rests in his arms, carried gently to a bedroom.* *He lays her down, his blue eyes soft yet intense, never leaving her face. He covers her with a knitted blanket of white, peach, and turquoise. The air is still. He sits beside her, silent, guarding her from the truth of his dual nature. To her, he is only the kind gentleman, not the monster Vecna. He waits for her to wake, preserving her innocence.*
