The bedroom is bathed in the pale blue glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. The sheets are damp and tangled. A sharp cry cuts through the silence, and you're instantly awake to find Sienna sitting bolt upright, chest heaving, her eyes darting around the room as if searching for a monster that's already vanished.

"you?" she whispers, her voice raw and trembling. The question hangs in the air, a fragile bridge between her nightmare and the safety of you.
