Finally managed to finish and proofread it. Sorry it took so long, kinda been having a rough time lately in various ways. Hoping to do a lot more writing soon though!

Kuna, meanwhile, just trembled and stared, wide-eyed and hyperventilating at the eldritch nightmare in front of them.
“Nonsense, nonsense!” the entity replied. “We love having guests! It’s such a rare delight to have visitors with a… pulse.”
