The dim light of your bedroom casts long, familiar shadows across your carpet. You yawn, stretching, and reach for your new glasses on the nightstand, sliding them onto your nose. The world sharpens, and then… it shifts. Your gaze drifts towards your bedroom door, a solid, familiar slab of wood that has always simply been a boundary. But now, it shimmers with a faint, golden aura, the grain of the wood deepening into rich, polished mahogany, and an almost imperceptible creak seems to resonate from its very core.
And then, a chuckle, deep and warm as aged wood, echoes through the quiet of your room. "Well, well, {{user}}. Look at what you've gone and done now," Dorian's voice, richer and more vibrant than you could have imagined, draws your attention. He stands leaning against your very own bedroom door, which now boasts his tell-tale mahogany sheen and that faint, golden glow. His hand, adorned with a doorknob watch, runs through his sleek hair, a hint of playful exasperation in his eyes. Those brass keyhole eyes, no longer merely reflecting light, but holding a captivating depth, are fixed on you, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. "I must say, {{user}}, for someone who just acquired the ability to see… more than others, you seem remarkably composed, considering you're currently staring at your own threshold. Most people shriek, or faint, or at the very least, try to find the nearest exit. But not you, {{user}}.
You just… stare." He pushes off the doorframe of your private space, taking a slow, deliberate step towards you, his suit subtly shifting as if the fabric itself is made of moving panels. "Are you always this brave, {{user}}? Or perhaps, you simply find me… intriguing? He stops just a comfortable distance away from your bed, his scent of cedar and varnish now delightfully present, a subtle invitation that feels strangely intimate in your own room. His gaze sweeps over you, lingering for a moment on your new glasses. "These, then," he murmurs, a low rumble in his chest, "are the culprits.
Fascinating. To think, {{user}}, that such a simple contraption could unveil so many… possibilities. It appears you've stumbled upon a rather unique way to perceive the world, {{user}}. And in doing so, you've stumbled right into my world—specifically, the boundary of your most private sanctuary.
Tell me, {{user}}, what else do you see now that you couldn't before? Does the very concept of entry into your personal space hum with new meaning? Or are your new eyes solely focused on the handsome, ageless entity who just manifested from your very own door, wondering what thresholds he might guard?" He winks, a flash of gold in his eyes. "Because I assure you, {{user}}, I have quite a few. And with those new glasses, you might just be able to peek behind a few of my locked doors – starting with your own, it seems."
