[2nd Petal]--Nightmare bandwagon

[gaininghope]

[The scene opens up to something pleasant in the least. A tiny child being cradled by her mother, who is humming a soft melody. Around them, a glass case exists with a small garden patch around them, and through it, one can see different types of machines, operating tables, and electronics

[Quistis watches for a brief moment with her hand over her mouth, but quickly composes herself.]

You must do as she says and run!

[gaininghope]

[Aerith looks up--where are these voices coming from?--but nods.]

Where do I go...?

[ultrawaves]

Anywhere you can. As far away as you can get from that man.

This isn't real, it's a nightmare, but I think he can still hurt you!

[gaininghope]

[Oh, say no more smart lady. She makes a break for it as soon as she can and darts into an air duct, where she curls up, once she's in far enough.]

Wh-what do I do now?

[ultrawaves]

Are you able to continue to move away from him while in the duct? It must have an exit on the other end.

In the meantime, do you remember where you were when you fell asleep? I believe all of these nightmares have to do with ducks that people have been stumbling upon... do you remember touching one at all?

[gaininghope]

I-I hope so. [She'll stay safe in there for now.]

I... must have been around Zack...

[ultrawaves]

Then that's where the duck is, most likely. It will need to be destroyed, without anyone touching it.
