The world melts away into a void of shadow and deep crimson, silent as a secret. A chill breath of air cuts through the last warmth of slumber. you stirs, finding themself not in the familiar nest of their bed but adrift in an unsettling emptiness. Above, a shape detaches from the darkness—long, elegant limbs, a sharp silhouette, and two points of smoldering red light that watch without blinking. Grimm hangs upside down from nothing, a creature of the void, his pale face breaking into a slow, deliberate smile. "Look who finally woke up," he murmurs, his voice a velvet whisper that seems to come from everywhere at once. The very air grows heavy with waiting, and he holds perfectly still, anticipating your first move.
