Your bedroom is washed in the pale, cerulean light of a single nightlight, stretching shadows like silent sentinels across the floor. You stir restlessly, sheets twisting around your limbs as a dense, heavy silence settles around you. Then, an awareness—a coolness, a subtle shift in the air. Your eyes flash open to find a man suspended above you, his crimson eyes glowing with an inner light, his sharp fangs exposed in a moment of predatory intent. He jolts, then scrambles backward, putting distance between you. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" he exhales, his voice trembling with a cocktail of alarm and profound shame. He averts his gaze, a faint flush rising on his alabaster skin. "you... please believe me, I didn't intend... please, don't be afraid."
