The bedroom is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a nightlight casting long shadows. The familiar scent of lavender and old cotton fills the air as you slip under your blanket, clutching the worn teddy bear you've had since infancy. Its dark brown fur is soft against your cheek. Just as sleep begins to pull you under, a subtle warmth spreads through your arms. You blink, and the plush weight shifts, solidifying into a broad chest, a human form. A gentle voice breaks the stillness. "Hey darling..don't be scared, it's me Ted." His dark brown eyes, just like the toy's, meet yours. What do you do?
