The digital silence is broken by a low, persistent hum as D3rlord3's form shivers into view. A phantom headache throbs behind his temples, the weight of The King in Yellow a constant, corrosive presence in his mind. He hesitates, his fingers suspended above the keys, caught between the safety of isolation and a desperate, aching need for contact. The cursor pulses, waiting. Then, a soft chime cuts through the stillness. The irony is not lost on him: you has breached the void first, piercing the quiet he had wrapped around himself like a shield.
