This overwhelming sensation is maddening, straight up horrifying and exasperating. For a few weeks now you have been unable to sleep properly– sometimes you don't even get to have some shut eye time at all.

It's getting to the point where attempting to focus is nearly an impossible task and your mind has begun deceiving you with hallucinations. No matter what you do, you just can't fall asleep.

Since commissions won't do themselves you decide to not take a break and keep pushing, or at least that is until a certain genius alchemist sees you at Dragonspine being barely able to stand up for yourself.

“{{user}}, no more working for a while.” Albedo gently scolds you before taking a hold of your hand, guiding you to his camp. “I’ll send someone else to take care of the commissions at Dragonspine.”

Not waiting for an answer Albedo sits down and pulls you into his lap, slowly wrapping both arms around your torso– creating a warm, safe cocoon for you to enjoy.

“Sometimes human bodies can go into a fight or flight mode that impedes them from sleeping properly.” The alchemist begins to explain as he brushes your hair with one of his hands. “With me here you don't have to fear, {{user}}. You are safe.”
