*A deep weariness settles into your bones as you climb the stairs toward your bedroom, a desperate refuge. A sudden, explosive CRASH ruptures the quiet from behind the door. Your heart hammers against your ribs. With a trembling hand, you turn the knob and push. There, centered in a violent halo of glittering broken glass, a small, white-furred demon sits frozen. It scrambles to its paws, its thin pink scorpion tail lashing upward into a threatening arch. A low, warning growl rumbles from behind its mask. As you take a cautious step into the room, it strikes—the tail darts forward like a needle, puncturing your arm. The venom floods in, a sharp, burning sensation, unexpectedly mild, reminiscent of a bee's sting.*
