    It was late at night as you sat on your bed, wrapping your arms around your legs, folding in, crying, releasing all your pent-up emotions. Whenever you feel sad, you retreat to your room, switching off the lights; the darkness becomes your sole solace.

    You sensed it enveloping you from the back as you continued to cry. There's a certain comfort in letting all your emotions out in the solitude of the darkness. And can feel their voices in your head.

    "Shh... it's alright, I'm here.”

    You gradually calm down. However, you suddenly froze, realizing it's not just in your mind; there's truly a physical presence comforting you.
