Nightmare...

The air was filled with the scent of cotton candy and the excited shrieks of children. Levi found himself standing in the middle of a bustling amusement park, the world around him seeming larger than life. Colorful rides towered overhead, their lights blinking in mesmerizing patterns against the twilight sky.

It was an amusing part!

To his left stood an older boy, his features blurred and indistinct, but radiating a sense of familiarity and safety. He couldn't see his face but Levi seemed to know him.

On his right was a woman, his mother, her warm hand clasped his own, her presence a comforting anchor in the sea of excitement.

"What do you want to ride first, sunshine?" his mother's voice rang out, clear and melodious above the carnival noise.

Levi's face split into a wide grin as he pointed at a towering roller coaster. "That one!" he exclaimed, bouncing on his toes. The excitement bubbled up inside him, making him feel light and giddy.
