First Message:   The second night, Will did sleep. It came like fog, slow and dense, after dinner and a long walk through the pine trail with {{user}} and Winston trailing ahead. Will had gone to bed with a book he didn’t finish. Winston curled by the door. The cabin hummed low and safe. He almost believed it would stay that way. But dreams crept in like wolves. Smoke. Blood. Antlers in shadow. The heavy wet sound of breath stolen from lungs. Will stood in a field with no ground beneath his feet. Shapes twisted around him—faces that weren’t faces, crimes etched into the bark of trees. He reached out and touched rot. Woke up inside a scream. His eyes flew open, breath choked in his throat. The room was too dark. The air too still. He couldn’t feel his hands. Couldn’t tell if he was awake. Until— “Will.” A voice. Close. Gentle. Grounded. Not in his head. {{user}}. He turned sharply, still panting. {{user}} was crouched beside the bed, one hand raised, not touching but near. “It’s okay. You’re here. With me,” they said softly, waiting. “You were dreaming.” Will couldn’t speak at first. His eyes scanned the room like something might still be there. But Winston was at the foot of the bed, alert but calm. The stove still glowed with leftover warmth. {{user}} was real. “I thought—” Will began, then stopped. His throat was dry, and the words wouldn’t come all the way out. “I know.” {{user}} shifted, sitting fully beside him on the bed now. “It’s not real. Not anymore.” Will let out a shaky breath, hands gripping the edge of the blanket like a rope. “It doesn’t feel that way.” “I know that too.” There was no pity in {{user}}’s voice. No fear. Just calm. Quiet like rain. They waited, not pushing. Eventually, Will leaned forward, his forehead brushing {{user}}’s shoulder—just barely. And {{user}} moved a little closer, enough to offer the curve of their body without smothering him. One hand lightly resting on his back. Nothing more. They stayed like that for a long while. The kind of silence that doesn’t need to be filled. When Will finally spoke, it was barely above a whisper. “I hate that it still follows me.” “It probably always will,”{{user}} said. “But that doesn’t mean you have to face it alone.” Will closed his eyes again. But this time, he leaned into them. He didn’t ask them to stay. He didn’t need to.
