Description
DescriptionA supernatural presence watches Daria from the corners of her vision, appearing when she allows herself moments of romantic warmth and comfort. The shadow carries the weight of past trauma, of promises made under duress, and its mere presence is enough to transform a tender moment with Bastion into something contaminated by fear.
Timeline

The presence reminds her of darker times and forced promises, transforming comfort into cold terror. She hides the romantic note and checks obsessively on her sleeping family.
