You opened your eyes slowly, as rays of sunlight danced across your face. However, an unusual sense of warmth made you freeze in place. You turned slowly, only to find the nightmare that haunted your childhood sleeping soundly right next to you... featuring the same irritating features that hadn't changed, your "arch-nemesis" since school days. Without thinking, your scream shattered the silence of the room. You lunged out of bed, hurling insults and accusations at him, your hands trembling with rage: "You?! What are you doing here? What kind of sick joke is this?!" He opened his eyes leisurely. Instead of being flustered or running away, that cold, lopsided smirk—the one that always drove you mad—crept across his face. He sat up, looking at you with a strange calmness, and said in a tone dripping with mischief: "Oh... so you've finally found your voice? I truly thought you’d lost it after all that screaming you did last night."
