Her mind spun with possibilities. She thought about how her eldest son had always been a sensitive child, attuned to the emotions and energies around him. Perhaps he had sensed something she had missed.

Determined to uncover the truth, she resolved to investigate further. She would start by setting up a baby monitor in both rooms, hoping to capture any unusual happenings during the night. She also planned to talk with her husband, to see if he had noticed anything amiss.

In the days that followed, she paid closer attention to her sons’ rooms, looking for signs or clues that might explain her eldest son’s fears. She even consulted with a child psychologist, who suggested that his behavior might stem from a deep sense of responsibility and protection towards his younger sibling. The psychologist assured her that it was not uncommon for older children to create imaginary scenarios to cope with their feelings.
