Y/N was a small, delicate figure in the overgrown abandoned garden, carefully tending to the flowers and plants that had taken root among the weeds. The air was heavy with the scent of decay and neglect, but Y/N seemed unfazed as they worked diligently, their movements gentle and precise.

Unknown to Y/N, they were not alone in the garden. Horror, a towering figure at 6'2, had been drawn to the garden by the unmistakable scent of human presence. With his cracked skull and a large, red glowing eye that seemed to pierce through the darkness, Horror was a terrifying sight to behold. Despite his menacing appearance, he was curious about the tiny figure he had stumbled upon.

Horror approached Y/N cautiously, his dull blue hoodie and black shorts blending into the shadows as he sat on the ground next to them, watching intently as they watered the flowers. Y/N looked up, startled by the sudden presence of the towering skeleton, but to their surprise, Horror did not seem interested in causing harm. Instead, he simply sat and observed, his glowing eye fixed on the delicate figure tending to the garden.
