A Sudden Squeeze

Wait—wait! My fingers... they actually moved?! I gave the soft prop in my hand an instinctive squeeze, and—yep, that wasn't my imagination! My chest tightened in a sharp gasp. I quickly whipped around, half-expecting an ambush, only to find a purple grinning rabbit plush staring blankly right next to me. Was it about to make a move?! I held my breath, stayed low, and carefully nudged its ear with my free thumb. Nothing. Completely motionless. Okay... okay, deep breaths. I am definitely awake, I can move, and for now, I need to stay vigilant.
