another step. the bitterness of disappointment and regret is heavy on her tongue. there's something hot and wet running down her face, the ache in her chest throbs harder. fall forward, sand grains rough against her palms and cheeks. the memories, the horrible memories are all coming back to her now.
they're covered in dirt and sweat. fingers still entwined together, only this time, they are running. the fire surges after them, creeping across grass and leaping from one tree branch to another. it's the fifth dream- or is it the tenth? and they can't die, can't have such an abrupt end to their journey. she chokes down a breath and squeezes his hand a little harder.
crying. that's the word for it. the shedding of tears as the body's response to one's emotional state. the somber glow of the sky tints her tears purple; liquid amethyst streaking clean tracks through the dirt on her face. quiet sobs, slight frame sprawled into the blanket of sand.
he's a human inferno, consumed by bright flames and dancing sparks that crawl up the sides of his pants, eating away at the ripped denim. she's panicking, oh my god wh-what do we do now, wh- "yoonji, go!" voice laced with agony, hands shoving her away. she stumbles, catching herself before she falls, watches in horror as tiny flames caper towards her, spreading from his burning frame. (if we die in a dream, we'll die in real life as well.) "leave me, just go!" his voice rises over the crackle and hiss of the flames, one last desperate attempt to save her. "go!" she turns, running and forcing herself not to look back.
all the memories, once locked away deep within her mind, now coming back to haunt her. charring skin, waves of heat, the sound of his screams fading away. how she had fled, jumping in and out of dreams, putting distance between her and that nightmare.
scenes flicker past before her eyes, snapshots of unfamiliar dreams, familiar ones from their past journey. her world is spinning, swirling around her and she's falling, limbs flailing as she descends through the dark void separating consciousness from sub-consciousness. land with a thump on a soft mound of sand, eyes turned towards the deep violet skies above her.
shallow rhythm of her breathing slowing with each passing second, limbs heavy as lead, cushioned in the sand. her eyelids are fluttering, unable to stay open; what's going on, she thinks, what's happening to me? darkness is interspersed with flashes of gloomy purple-gray, everything is fading away, blurring before her eyes.
