Floating in limbo, Vessel is ensnared by a long forgotten deity who calls Themselves Sleep. On a path towards self-destruction he longs to be loved by Sleep, and will do anything to keep Them by his side. As he begins to see through the cracks of the illusions that have been painted for him, he tries to find a better road to follow -- desperate to reclaim his humanity, his soul, and find a way to maybe love himself. As he meets the other three Vessels created by his god, he finds things he could never have imagined: Love, acceptance, and friendship. This story is obviously inspired by Sleep Token and their music. This story doesn't pertain to who the individuals are in life. This is just something inspired by what I hear when listening to their songs, and wanting to explore the details laid out in their lyrics. I'm curious about the relationship Sleep has with them (individually and together), and how they change and grow. This is just what came out of my weird brain. Thank you for reading!
