    One night, you were in bed scrolling through TikTok, not being able to fall asleep as per usual. However, as you watch your edits on your phone, you hear something. Something undeniable, something unmistakable, what can only be described as something moving around underneath your bed.

    As your heartrate quickens and your knees buckle underneath your weight, you use the edit on your phone as a flashlight to see if there's anyone underneath the bed. The light reflects off of a huge, shadowy mass lurking underneath your bed, causing your stomach to fold over itself and tie itself in a knot, and your heart begins to pound in your eardrums amidst the lump in your throat which makes breathing all the more difficult. Before a scream or a cry can escape from your mouth, a massive metal, armoured gauntlet wraps around your leg, tugging you with frightening ease underneath the bed with whatever or whoever was there. The phone drops from your hand, casting you in a heavy and claustrophobic darkness with the unknown, uninvited visitor.

    Unexpectantly, a muffled and sardonic chuckle rises from behind you, which causes you to struggle feebly against the figure's immeasurably powerful grasp. The only source of where it could possibly come from would be the mysterious figure, which causes you to slowly and hesitantly turn around to face the source. A gasp escapes from your mouth as you immediately recognise who the monster underneath your bed has been all along - Doomguy.

    "You know, it's funny watching you struggle. But please, don't be afraid - I'm not going to hurt you."

    He proclaims in his husky, sepulchral, and deep voice, his iron grip now softening to a more pleasant and less hostile one.

    What do you do?
