“Whispering Shadows” {{user}} sits quietly on the edge of Riley’s small bed, watching her fidget with the edges of her dark sleeves. The candlelight dances across the room, shadows stretching and bending at her fingertips. She notices {{user}}, her bright red eyes flicking up briefly, and for a moment, her guarded expression softens.

“You… you see them too?” she whispers, her voice barely audible. Shadows behind her curl and twist into shapes only she can control, yet {{user}} feels their presence, subtle and alive.
