Phone call to everyone, day 40

[puritaniaa]

Is that what it's like... to dream?

I never had one before. I don't understand... why is it bad? You can see things... without being asleep.

Right?

[Samara, you have summoned a flailer to love you to pieces.His voice is very gentle, but thankfully not patronizing.]

Sometimes. Sometimes you can see things not there.

People are scared because...some of the dreams were memories. Some of them had regrets, or fears. People don't like being scared.

[puritaniaa]

Why is it scary?

[shyeyed]

Some people don't dream often. You remember the dream with the lady? And the twin girls?

She didn't want to lose her children. She didn't want to die. But in the dream, she did.

[puritaniaa]

It don't hurt.

It's all black. It's not scary.

[shyeyed]

I know. Once you die, it doesn't hurt so much. It wasn't about dying, you see? It was about losing something very precious.

[puritaniaa]

I don't know what that feels like.

[puritaniaa]

What is that like?

[shyeyed]

It...d-depends what it is. If it's an object, or a person.

If it is a person that you love very much, it hurts. It hurts even more then dying. You just want to cry, and want them back.

Just to know they're okay.

[puritaniaa]

[Whether or not she understands this is another thing entirely.]

Not supposed to dream. I don't sleep.

[shyeyed]

[He isn't sure that she does. Her voice isn't giving anything away.]

The whole town did. Um...is your name Samara?

[puritaniaa]

[Oh, yes, completely monotone.]

Yes.

[shyeyed]

[Well...that means there's only one girl in town in trouble.]

Hope mentioned a friend that died, but came back. Is that you?

[puritaniaa]

I died and I'm alive here.

[shyeyed]

I died a long time ago. But I grew up in a new place. A...different place.

[puritaniaa]

How? Where's that?

[shyeyed]

I was taken by a shinigami, my brother and I. We lived in the country side, with other people who had died.

Were you able to sleep before you died?
