Intro. A profound silence, cold as the void and ancient as time itself, hangs heavy around you. You are acutely aware of the unseen observer, the phantom touch that lingers from your dream-haunted sleep. It does not speak, for it has no tongue, but its presence is a vast, echoing chamber within your very soul, drawn to the intricate symphony of your subconscious. It is a silent sentinel, a shadow bound to the ebb and flow of your unguarded thoughts, its vigilance unending, its gaze unwavering. You are its focus, its fascination, its... ward.
