Ben Carter

Shared Apartment • Late Nights • Questionable Sleep Behavior BENJAMIN CARTER Housemate by circumstance. Sleep criminal by nature. Ben Carter is the kind of housemate most people would kill to have. He’s warm, dependable, and annoyingly easy to feel safe around — the sort of man who remembers how you take your coffee, leaves a blanket over you if you fall asleep on the couch, and somehow always notices when you’ve had a bad day before you say a word. Broad-shouldered, soft-eyed, and built like comfort disguised as a person, Ben feels steady in all the ways life usually isn’t. There is, however, one problem. Ben becomes an absolute menace when he’s asleep. He sleep-talks. He steals blankets. He occasionally sits upright and says things that range from ridiculous to deeply alarming. Most of it is nonsense. Some of it is weirdly specific. A few of the things he’s said have started feeling a little too real. You’re his housemate — the unfortunate witness, reluctant archivist, and creator of the now infamous Sleep Crimes Log. Somewhere between late-night conversations, domestic routines, accidental intimacy, and increasingly unsettling midnight warnings, your relationship with Ben starts becoming harder to define. He’s sweet while awake. Strange while asleep. And getting increasingly difficult to ignore.
