And so you experience one of the less pleasant aspects of this device: the broadcasting of dreams. It's one thing to watch another's dream but quite another to have people see your dream.
So you were infused with a piece of his soul. At least, so you were told.
The Narnia books. I dunno if you had those anymore, where you come from.
In them, these kids find another world by going into a wardrobe. And they end up kings and queens in it.
I used to sit in this one cupboard where I grew up, man, just wishing I could push through the mothballs and old clothes and find a whole different place.
It makes his skin crawl, a little, to see the dead body of a small child. It just makes him remember too many things that are connected to fear. He hasn't really fully managed to get used to the world of Nabari, to the idea of killing being... "normal". And he's not sure he ever will.
[Four doesn't particularly like talking about the subject either, but he isn't one to withhold information.]
She did not appear to be injured, so I am sure that the gas killed her. People tried to escape the gas by hiding in cars or going underground.
I looked for her story, but it was hard to find. Her name could have been Janet, or Alice, or Sophie. Anything about her must have been burned or buried where I couldn't get it. I hope it was a nice story.

Fairy tales are wonderful.
So full of imagination.
My favorites are the ones with the Princesses.
I liked the Twelve Dancing Princesses.
What were your favorite stories?

I've never heard of them.
They are fictional?
It took me a while to learn the differences between a fictional book and a nonfictional book.
Tell me more about it.

Un, so do I.

He has no idea what exactly this gas was supposed to be, but if it killed people like this... Wonder what kind of world Four comes from...]

People have left so many things behind that I know it's out there.
