Hypnos

Also on file as: —

The name carved into the marble statue that was, by every account the Archive has been able to take seriously, actively a person a few hours earlier. Whether Hypnos is the friend's true and long-concealed nature, a force he trespassed against once too often, or simply the shape the narrator's collapsing mind gave to a loss it couldn't otherwise process, is a question the Archive is filing as open rather than resolved.
