Dream 005 ¦¦ ♥
[The dream can be seen only in flashes; some of them flash by too quickly for everything to be made out. The entire thing is very choppy and confused.]
Break lay on the ground, unconscious. He did not stir for a long moment, but then he suddenly opened both eyes and there…There a large, cat-like ‘human’ with bandaged eyes crouched over him.
“A human! A human!” the creature said, smiling an odd, catty smile, and licking his lips, to Break’s horror.
Break gritted his teeth and slashed out at the creature with his sword, and
Cackling cackling cackling of dolls, lining the walls, horrifyingly loud and cruel-
A beautiful white-haired girl smiled at him and said, “Your name is Kevin, isn’t it?” She laughed, innocently, sweetly, softly.
Those dolls, those creepy, floating dolls, they never ceased their terrifying chorus, and he couldn’t drown it out-
And Break pointed his sword at the girl’s throat, pinning her to the ground, eyes and expression furious, but then she reached up with one delicate hand, cupping his cheek and opened her mouth to speak
Fury, pulsing fury. Because…She was right. It was all his fault…
The sword from the gigantic white Chain, the White Knight, hit him hard, and Break was thrown to one side with a choked off cry of pain. He hit the ground heavily and lay, unmoving-
It rained blood, the red falling heavily on everything. It rained blood, and the white-haired, beautiful young girl laughed and twirled amongst it, saying, “It’s so pretty!”
Rain…Blood…Dolls…
The dolls cackled and chuckled and chanted together. “Alice is mad! Alice is mad!”
Blood…Blood and sneering faces…confusion, questions-
Break was hunched over in pain, breathing harsh and uneven. The girl smiled at him and said, “It hurts you, doesn’t it? This is the strongest part of the Abyss; it will seep into your body and
Pain…it hurt even to breathe, here…
He couldn’t move…Break shuddered, arms wrapped around his body.
It was so dark, and all he could feel was pain…
She spun in a happy dance with Cheshire, the odd cat-like creature, laughing, glowing in the darkness. She seemed…pure and innocent and kind, but those words… “Are you suffering? Are you suffering?”
She was so cheerful.
Are you suffering~?
Then the girl paused and smiled and said, “Oh yes! I nearly forgot! ♥”
Her tone was as pure and kind as the rest of her.
But then she was in front of him, still smiling so sweetly, and Break could not move, could not do anything as she jammed her fingers into his eye socket
grabbed his eye and
ripped it out.

[Break wakes quickly and sharply. He takes a deep, near-silent breath, and then makes a quiet, annoyed sound. He reaches for the Dreamberry, one hand over his empty eyesocket, and shuts it off quickly.
