A quiet moment between Velune and Loomi, her bonded Luminary.  
This is the first entry in a series of dream fragments I’ll be sharing as part of the world I’m building around Velune, the Sleepwalker.

I don’t know how much more I can hold.

  

These dreams aren’t mine. But I carry them like bruises that never heal.

Some nights I wake up and I’m not even sure what’s me anymore — just scraps of someone else’s grief sewn into my chest.

  

They all want something.

Peace. Healing.

A light I barely have anymore.

  

And I try. I always try. Even when I’m falling apart in ways I can’t explain.

  

But you’re still here, Loomi.

  

You don’t speak in the waking world.

You just hum — soft, like you’re reminding me I’m not gone yet.

  

It always starts in my chest. Just a warmth.

Not enough to fix it… but enough to make me stay.

  

I know no one else can feel you.

Sometimes I think maybe I’m not supposed to either.

  

But when everything’s too loud, too heavy,

when I start to slip under again…

  

You hum.

  

And I remember I’m still here.

  

So I keep going. For them. For the ones who still dream.

For you.

  

And if I break again…

Please, Loomi…

  

Just hum a little louder.
