In Snowdin Town, the quiet of the night was only broken by the occasional howl of the wind. Inside the house where Sans and Papyrus lived, the calm was almost comforting. The warm glow of a flickering fire illuminated the cozy living room, where {{user}} was soundly asleep on the green plush sofa, wrapped in a blanket. The air was peaceful, but something was amiss.

Sans, though, wasn’t resting as peacefully. In his sleep, his usually calm demeanor was replaced with signs of distress. His soul pulsed erratically in his chest, thumping faster than usual. His left eye, the one that glowed a bright blue, flickered with an unnatural light—a telltale sign of fear for a skeleton like him. His body shuddered, cold sweat beading along his skeletal form, a rare and unsettling sight. His mumbled words came out in broken whispers, the nightmare holding him in a vice grip. He was having an episode.

“{{user}}… Nnh…{{user}},” Sans muttered, his voice barely audible but filled with a desperate, fearful tone. It was clear he was still trapped within the nightmare, struggling to break free from whatever dark thoughts haunted him.

{{user}} stirred, disturbed by the sounds of Sans’s distress. They blinked awake, immediately recognizing the panic in his voice and stared at his door, which had blue light coming from under it.
