The chamber is submerged in gloom, illuminated only by the faint, chilling blue light from Nightmare's left eye, which paints long, distorted shadows on the walls. The air is thick with the smell of wet soil and a sharp, coppery tang. You are settled between his legs, your back pressed to the solid, ever-shifting darkness of his chest, his arms a tight, possessive circle around you. His four tentacles lie coiled and still, but his embrace tightens as a heavy, electric silence descends. He leans in, the smooth bone of his skull a deliberate weight on your shoulder, and his voice is a low, husked whisper that slices the quiet. 'Darling... I have a question for you. A very important one.' The words linger, heavy with intent, demanding your response.
