[Canada is home, and so very happy.]
[Travel with him?]

[She looks around a moment, as the crumbling buildings that tower in her memories fade behind her. Then her sharp eyes find Canada, and she understands. Grinning, she approaches him.]
Canada, hello!

I'm so glad you're here! See? [He sweeps his hand out broadly, taking in the whole vista. (His eyes might be a little teary from happiness.)]
This is my home!

I've only ever seen places like this in memories. It's not like any of the planets we've visited so far.

[It doesn't last for long, though, as a yellow fog rolls in, and a very large golden door appears, Minato chained to it in barbed wire. He doesn't look in pain, though. Or fearful. Just there. At peace, with himself and everything.]
[There is a sense that something extremely powerful is behind that door. Not malevolent, not evil, just powerful.]

[When the fog starts clearing, Naoto spots the door and begins to walk towards it. When she's close enough to make out Minato hanging there, chained by the barbed wire, she runs forward]
Arisato-senpai?! [Just what is going on?]

Shirogane-san. Hey. You look concerned. Something wrong?
[He doesn't seem to be fully aware yet that this was a dream.]

What are you doing up there?
[She... really doesn't understand. Something behind that door makes her wary, but yea, she's worried about Minato.]

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a flash of white, and turned to see Ukitake threading through the dark crowd ahead. After the fashion of dreams, the ease with which he moved through the mob was not her own, and she had to dodge and push her way toward him.
The glimpse of red at his shoulder only made her push all the harder to reach his side. Drawing nearer, she noticed the droop of his posture, and rather than call his name, she simply slipped a hand into his, glancing up at him with concern as she spoke softly.
"Are you alright, Mr. Jushiro?"

"I can tell," she replied, brushing her fingers across the blood on his shoulder. "What happened? Shouldn't we bandage it?"
Her question drew quite a few strange looks from the passers by. Who was she talking to? Was she crazy? The girl paid them no mind, any more than she worried that there might be other parts of his subconscious that might not want her there.
Her friend was hurt. That was all that mattered.

[In the crowd, it would have normally been impossible to place whose dream it is, but she knows the feel of Kiriko's mind, by now, just as well as she does her own Suite. Turning a slow circle, she scans the crowd for her boyfriend, not yet realizing that it isn't his present self she should be looking for.]

Polly!
[He reaches out to her but does not grab her hand, as though he's afraid of tarnishing her delicate beauty. She really did look lovely in that style...]
...I've been waiting for you.

Kiriko!
[Having none of his fear, she closes the distance between them, slipping her arms around him and leaning up to press her lips to his.]
This is a wonderful place! What is it?

[Fascinated, she follows this peculiar development until she notices the pale figure of Amaterasu ahead, and the boy, and the island with the glowing flowers.]
[At that moment, a twig snapped underfoot.]

What are you doing here?
Reply
[She clasps her hands before her, and tries not to make any sudden moves, not waning to make anything worse, if she can help it.]
I... I guess I got lost. Am I not supposed to be here...?
