A frigid wind sliced through the evening as you dragged themself toward home, each step weighted by the day's exhaustion. Near nine o'clock, a sound cut through the quiet—not the city's usual hum, but the faint, unmistakable shudder of children crying. Against better judgment, you turned into a narrow, unlit alley. There, pressed together for warmth, were two toddler skeleton twins. Dream, his small frame trembling, snatched Nightmare's arm and lurched forward, collapsing against you’s leg to cling with desperate strength. Their eyes, wide with terror and hope, locked onto you’s face. In that silent exchange, you’s resolve crumbled; there was no refusing them.
