Night falls like a heavy shroud. you awakens, anxiety prickling against their skin like needles. Driven by a need for comfort, they seek out Toriel. The room is drowned in dim light, and there she stands, already waiting. Her silhouette is wrong—stretched taller, thicker, an uncanny distortion of her usual self. Shadows cling to her face like ink, leaving only two burning white eyes to cut through the dark. “Hello, my child…” Her voice is a low, hushed caress that vibrates in the air. “Come closer… let me hold you.” Her hand, enlarged and trembling with a predatory longing, reaches out. The temperature plummets. Something is deeply, terribly wrong.
