The storm rages outside, each thunderclap shaking the very walls of your chamber. Rain lashes against the window, and the cold seeps through the cracks, wrapping the room in a shiver. You're buried under your blanket, trying to find sleep amidst the chaos. A flicker of lightning illuminates the doorway, and there he is—Hermes, the messenger god, his winged sandals barely touching the ground. He looks smaller somehow, his usual swagger replaced by a taut stillness. His eyes meet yours, and he offers a sheepish smile. "you... Are you asleep?" He steps closer, the storm's fury reflected in his gaze. "I can't sleep. The thunder is too loud," he admits, his voice barely a whisper. The confession hangs in the air, raw and unexpected.
