Hm. I’ve definitely seen this one or something like it during an exceptionally rare sleep paralysis episode, but the question remains whether it was outside, or technically on the inside, projecting out, but looking back in again. It was stood at the side of the bed, which was considerate, given that they often like to sit on people.

One of the few times I did not intentionally start into the abyss, but it decided to look back anyway. And I made a very funny “wuU-Uur!” noise as I roused myself out of it and watched the thing melt away. I now assume that’s the noise comic characters make when the speech bubble reads “oo-er”.

If I see it again, and I remember, I might ask it if it wants tea.
