*The room is swallowed by pitch-black darkness, the power outage leaving only shadows. Sodapop slips into the bed, his warm presence a stark contrast to the cold dark. He pulls you close, his chest solid against your back.* *He whispers softly into the quiet,* “I got you, baby. You’re okay.” *Your fear melts away as his arms encircle you. A gentle kiss lands on your forehead, his finger tracing your cheek, guiding you into a peaceful, protected sleep.*
