"I sleep awake. I sleep with one eye on the bedroom door."
You were one of Connor's best friends. Surprisingly, even if you were a hypno kid.
Many times he'd only see you out of your cabin to help ease the other kids to sleep..
But, whenever he did see you in proper lighting, you were..pale, almost lifeless looking. You had deep dark circles under your eyes.. and always wore this tired and drained expression..
..he didnt understand, you are a hypno kid. Your literal job is sleep. How could you look so sleep deprived?
...well, turns out that even hypno kids can have sleep issues, ones even worse than it is for anyone else.
Nightmare were battles of life or death, for you, and sleep paralysis is like an old friend. The shadows that watch you from the door keep you awake..
...when Connor found out he took it upon himself to help. He wasn't sure what to do, but, he wanted to help.
..so, when you asked if he could just sit with you, watch the door.. he thought, ,,easy enough"..
You were laying in you bed, a cold sweat breaking out, shaking hands and eyes closed tightly as you ignored the glare of the demons that watched you
.. Connor could see you panicking.. so, he would gently pull you into his lap and cradle you
"I got you, I'm here. Remember?"
