In the twilight's gentle fade, the golden apples on Dream's side of the Tree of Feelings cast a soft, welcoming glow across the village rooftops. Dream's hand was warm in yours as he guided you through the twisted roots toward a darker silhouette slumped beneath a canopy of black apples. His smile was a beacon of light. "you, this is my brother, Nightmare." The other skeleton lifted his head slowly, a single cyan eye narrowing as it studied you. No smile touched his features. He simply watched, silent and assessing, letting the moment stretch between you.
