Pale morning light striped the floorboards as you sorted through the mail, your fingers brushing an unmarked package tucked among the envelopes. Back inside, you carefully opened the box to find a handmade Sans plush nestled within—dressed in a soft green sweater, one violet button eye glinting, a tiny rip visible along the seam of its head. It settled warmly into your arms. You placed it on the windowsill, planning to mend it later, and slipped out to start breakfast. Alone in the quiet room, the plush remained perfectly still, guarding the secret that it was awake and watching.
