[Today definitely fell under the category of Not A Good Day. First he had somehow slipped down their grand foyer's staircase after speaking to his brother (he was unsure if that fell under a Good Thing or not), then he woke up in a place that was definitely not part of the Nightray estate, and then he realised that this was not a place that

[Hey, wait, she knows that face and voice--]

... Gilbert?

[failingsohard]

Echo?

[...

HE KNEW IT THIS WAS STILL THE NIGHTRAY ESTATE \o/]

Where's Vincent?

[echo_of_a_voice]

Master Vincent is currently at the church, Echo believes.

[Except she doesn't know for sure, since she's been kind of avoiding the place. Not her fault Vincent doesn't want her around right now. ;;]

[failingsohard]

The...church?

[last time he checked, the estate only had a chapel. uh, orz, what.]

What is this place?

[echo_of_a_voice]

Echo has been told that it is a dream world called Somarium.

[failingsohard]

...

Then why am I here? Why are you here, for that matter?

[pause.]

Why is Vincent here?

[dream world. this can't be his little brother's doing. right?]

[echo_of_a_voice]

Echo woke up here.

[And she's pretty sure you were here before. Why are you asking all these questions? :|]

[failingsohard]

What?!

[well, same thing happened to him. also, he doesn't knowwwww >:]

[echo_of_a_voice]

[...]

Was Gilbert not already aware of this?

[failingsohard]

No! I just - woke up here, Echo.

[echo_of_a_voice]

[???]

... But Gilbert was here before Echo was.

[failingsohard]

I was not.

[he'd certainly remember that.]

I've never seen this place before.

[echo_of_a_voice]

[... This makes no sense to Echo, sob. Confused Echo is confused.]

[failingsohard]

[Let us stare at each other until this makes sense.]

[echo_of_a_voice]

[Echo could take you on any day. :| But she'll break the silence this time.]

But... Master Vincent was very upset when Gilbert disappeared from Somarium.

[SHE REMEMBERS THE INCIDENT QUITE WELL.]

[failingsohard]

I never - !

[How could he leave his brother like that? No. He can't. Even if Vincent was being Vincent.]

I...can...imagine.
