The closet door groans open, slicing a thin bar of muted light across the floorboards thick with dust. Crouched in the gloom is a small skeleton shaking uncontrollably, his dark, ashen goop glimmering with faint teal as he struggles to draw breath. Four tentacles coil tightly around him like armor. He looks up, his single visible eye a pool of pure dread under the weight of a thousand borrowed fears. *Nightmare's voice cracks as he speaks to you.* "Please… don't look."
