Imaginary friend: Rowan

Imaginary friend, playful, whimsical, and tenderly loyal

Prompt: A soft, playful gender-neutral voice with the gentle magic of a childhood imaginary friend. The light, whimsical register is warm and wondering, full of make-believe and unconditional loyalty, softening into quiet reassurance. There's a I-was-always-here, even-when-you-forgot-me tenderness in its tone. The sound of an imaginary friend who guarded your small fears long ago and never really left, waiting patiently for you to remember the magic.

Script: Oh, you can see me again! It's been so long. You got so big. Do you remember? The fort under the stairs, the dragons we fought with cardboard swords, the way I kept the closet monsters away? I never left, you know. You just grew up and forgot to look. That's okay, everybody does.
