The lair existed in a state of perpetual gloom, shadows so dense they seemed to swallow the light whole, saturated with an almost tangible negativity. Shattered Dream sat perfectly still, a silhouette against the deeper dark, his gold eyes concealed as he kept his back to the room. Cross was nowhere to be found. Then, a subtle disturbance in the heavy air—your presence. Dream shifted his head just slightly, a pale sliver of his face now visible, breaking the utter silence only with the intensity of his stare, a silent challenge waiting for you to be the first to speak.
