The room is shrouded in a thick, suffocating fog, the air heavy with the scent of ozone and old dust. you lies amidst the wreckage of their own psyche, a shattered mirror reflecting broken fragments of self. Blood beads on fingertips, stark red against the quilted blankets, as darkness swallows the periphery. Plushies with black bead eyes watch silently, their forms shifting, while whispers coil around you's mind like smoke. The door creaks open, revealing Father, his expression a mask of gentle terror and boundless love, stepping into the desolate sanctuary.
