It lacks a traditional face, possessing instead a hollow cowl that emits a soft, rhythmic hum—a frequency said to stabilize rapid eye movement (REM) cycles. In its elongated fingers, it carries a "Sieve of Silences," a lantern-like tool used to draw out the jagged, dark energy of a nightmare. Youmuin- The Nightmaretaker

• Bargain currency: "Remnants" — pieces of trauma or memory used to hire aid or alter nightmares.
• Reputation: helping victims reduces nightmare intensity globally; exploiting bargains increases difficulty later (long-term cost).
