00:00Hey, you finally noticed me.
00:07It took you long enough.
00:11I've been here every night, you know.
00:15Not always this clear.
00:20Sometimes just a shadow in the corner of your dreams.
00:25Sometimes a voice you almost remembered when you woke up.
00:31But tonight, you're listening.
00:36And that's new.
00:40Do you feel how quiet it is?
00:45And that's me.
00:48I hush the world when I visit.
00:52No alarms.
00:54No noise.
00:56No interruptions.
00:59It's just us.
01:04You don't have to be nervous.
01:07If I wanted to secure you, I would have done it already.
01:16I prefer it this version of you.
01:20The one who leans in.
01:24The one who wanders.
01:28Do you remember the dream with the endless hallway?
01:35Yeah, that one.
01:38You weren't alone there.
01:42I was the one at the end.
01:45I just didn't let you reach me yet.
01:53I wanted you to come back.
01:56And you did.
01:57Every night, a little closer.
02:03Every dream, a little braver.
02:07Until now.
02:12You can't feel me, can't you?
02:16Not fully.
02:18Not like you feel the world when you're awake.
02:22But there's something.
02:25A pressure.
02:28A warmth where there shouldn't be one.
02:33That's me, sitting next to you.
02:40You always thought demons were sharp edges and fire and teeth.
02:49And I mean, I can't be.
02:54But for you, I'm something else.
03:01And you're tired.
03:04Not just sleepy.
03:07Tired in that deep way.
03:11The kind that doesn't go away after a nap.
03:16I see that.
03:19I always have.
03:22So.
03:24I started small.
03:29A better dream here.
03:32A softer fall there.
03:35Turning your nightmares into something you could survive.
03:41Something you could understand.
03:46Something you could come back to.
03:52And then.
03:55You started looking for me.
03:59You stayed asleep longer.
04:03You ignored the alarms.
04:07You chased the feeling.
04:09Instead of running from it.
04:12From me.
04:15That's when I knew.
04:19Tell me something.
04:21When you wake up.
04:25And everything feels louder.
04:28Harsher.
04:30Colder.
04:33You miss this, don't you?
04:37You miss.
04:39Me.
04:44It's okay.
04:47You can say it.
04:50You don't have to use words.
04:53I can feel it in the way you drift back here every night.
04:59I won't trap you.
05:02That's not how it works.
05:06You wake up.
05:07You live your life.
05:10You pretend this is just imagination.
05:15And then.
05:18You come back.
05:23It's a nice arrangement, isn't it?
05:28But lately.
05:31It feels like something more.
05:35When you're here with me.
05:39When you're not pretending.
05:42You're not filtering yourself.
05:46You're just.
05:48You.
05:51And I.
05:54I think I like you like that.
05:59No.
06:01I know I do.
06:04So.
06:05What do we call this?
06:08Not a fear.
06:10Not a curiosity.
06:13Not just a dream.
06:20You're falling for me.
06:24And.
06:26I think I'm falling for you too.
06:32Don't worry.
06:34I'll still be here tomorrow night.
06:38And the night after that.
06:41And every time you close your eyes.
06:44And to let the world fade out.
06:49You'll find me waiting.
06:50You'll find me waiting.
06:52You'll find me waiting.
06:52You'll find me waiting.
