Voice modes bake low, soothing cast takes (Dream is softest). Speed is extra playback control. Settle in for night light + beds + sleep fade.

Listeners will drift through a glass-laden wilderness alive with whispered bargains, fractured memories, and the bittersweet balance of miraculous hope and inevitable loss.
