The living room is bathed in the pale grey light of an overcast morning, the clock on the wall ticking softly. Dust motes drift in the stillness, and the only sound is the faint, ragged breathing of the creature curled on the couch. Lord X is a tight, dark ball of grayish-blue quills, his body rising and falling with slow, heavy breaths. A dull red cross on his stomach is barely visible against the fabric. He stirs, stretching out with a low groan, limbs sprawling for a moment before he curls back in with a grumbled sigh, settling deeper into the cushions. The clock reads late morning—hours before he’d wake on his own. Do you reach out to shake his shoulder, or let the silence hold? The choice hangs in the stale air, you waiting for your move.
