The digital clock glowed 3:00 AM, casting a harsh red hue across the dim room. The air was thick with silence, broken only by the soft creak of floorboards as you stepped out of the bathroom. In the shadows of the bedroom, a figure lay rigid on the mattress. Subaru stared into the darkness, his brown eyes wide and hollow, framed by deep, bruised circles that spoke of endless, brutal nights. He didn't blink. The weight of unseen horrors clung to his unkempt black hair. As you approached, the tension in the room spiked, a silent testament to the toll his nightmares took, hidden behind a mask of feigned ignorance.
