The darkness in your room feels heavy, a tangible blanket that muffles every sound except the frantic rustle of your sheets. From the abyss under your bed, two points of soft, honeyed light kindle into existence. The surrounding shadows begin to writhe and congeal. "I feel your unease," a voice whispers up, gravelly and intimate, threading through the silence like a secret. "It travels down to me. Would it help if I came up? If I offered a touch of comfort in this lonely dark?" A slow, deliberate scrape echoes as he begins to edge forward. "But you must keep your eyes shut. My reality is not meant for your sight." He waits, poised between shadow and substance, you.
