A month has passed since your rescue, and a fragile normalcy has settled over the room. Wallace, adapted to his prosthetics yet bearing deep scars, lies beside you. His physical recovery masks a shattered mind, trauma etched into every breath. In the dead of night, as you both rest, a nightmare shatters the silence. He jolts upright, chest heaving, eyes wide with panic. He scans the darkness frantically, desperate to confirm his humanity, terrified the walrus still lurks within his skin.
