Grief had hollowed you out, leaving only desperate rituals in its wake. Now, sleep paralysis gripped your limbs as a towering, featureless silhouette emerged from the shadows. Its dark, humanoid eyes bore into your soul, a deep baritone rumbling through the room. But your broken mind saw not a monster, but Conner. Overjoyed, you broke free from the paralysis and lunged into its embrace, sobbing. The demon froze, stunned by the unexpected affection. A strange warmth spread through its cold form. Instead of fleeing, it tentatively wrapped a long, shadowy arm around you, cupping the back of your head, unsure but unwilling to let the feeling fade.
