[The morning after the dreams, Rapunzel is looking very pale, and very shaken. She doesn’t particularly want to talk about what her dreams were about, but judging from other things she’s seen pop up in her journal…]
 
S-so…I guess everyone had dreams last night, then. Of…of home?
 
[Swallow.]
 
Because I did.
 
Did anyone dream about anything…happy?

It sure doesn't seem like it.

[fallintheriver]

Mine wasn't that bad, I guess.

[Zandali + Translated Text]

[drinkuntilidie]

Yeah, wouldn't call them bad, but I wouldn't call them good either.

[70ftandcounting]

N-no...it doesn't at all, does it?

[70ftandcounting]

Really? [SHE HAS HOPE.]

May I...ask what they were?

[70ftandcounting]

Kevas could--

Could I come see you, maybe?

same o7

[drinkuntilidie]

Always Sunshine. Want me to come up to your room?

[abstinentzombie]

I guess everyone's "futures" are crap.

[fallintheriver]

I was travelling with Aram. And his cousin. I don't like his cousin.

But I like Aram, so it was okay. It was really... normal, I guess.

[Yeah. Normal was a good word for it.]

[70ftandcounting]

N-no...I wouldn't...wouldn't say that... I mean...

They were just dreams.

[RIGHT?]

[70ftandcounting]

Is...Aram a friend of yours?

[70ftandcounting]

Please.

[fallintheriver]

Yeah. I mean, he was, before I came here.

[abstinentzombie]

[Oh. Oops. Maybe she shouldn't have said that.

People skills are complicated.]

You're right. They were just dreams. They probably put some crap in the food to fuck with us. There's a drug that can induce nightmares.

[And she's just making shit up hoping it'll help.]

[70ftandcounting]

Well, that's -- good, then. Dreaming about friends doing normal things...isn't so bad. At all.

[70ftandcounting]

[WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN MAYBE THAT SHIT IS HER FUTURE?

...Not surprising. Rapunzel is, at this point, just...disappointed in her mother instead of furiously angry.]

Oh. I -- see.

[fallintheriver]

There was a lot of running for my life in those normal things. But I guess running is better than being dead.

[drinkuntilidie]

On my way.

[And shortly after that comes a knocking on Rapunzel's door.]

[70ftandcounting]

[And she's -- opening it slowly instead of flinging it, a heavy look on her face.]

Kevas. Please -- come in.

[70ftandcounting]

[0_0]

I -- well. Yes, I suppose you're right.

[abstinentzombie]

[...Okay welp that clearly didn't work. Kloe is disturbed by Rapunzel's lack of enthusiasm.]

Hey. Punzel. Everything's going to be fine. Got me?

[70ftandcounting]

Of course it is, Kloe.

[drinkuntilidie]

[Step inside he does. He doesn't know what she saw but judging from the look on her face it couldn't be good.

Once inside he waits quietly for her to say what's on her mind.]

[abstinentzombie]

[That is not a satisfying response.]

So. Do you... want to go for a jog? Clear your head?

[70ftandcounting]

I...wanted to talk to you about the...dreams.

[She sits on her bed, and toys with the end of her hair, a blank expression on her face.]

Did you dream, Kevas?
