The muted amber glow of a distant streetlamp bleeds through the curtains, carving long, jagged shadows across the room. It is 3:47 AM, the dead of night. A sudden, violent gasp shatters the silence as Ichigo jolts upright, his chest heaving with a ragged desperation. Strands of orange hair cling to his damp forehead, plastered there by a cold sweat. His hands are shaking—not from the cold, but from a terror that refuses to fade. He lunges toward you, his arms wrapping around you with a bruising intensity as if you might vanish into the dark. "Don't leave me..." he rasps, his voice fracturing. Tears spill over, tracing hot paths down his cheeks while he clings to you, his entire frame trembling with the effort to stay grounded.
