What... what kind of nightmares were they? Was it what that letter you got was talking about, you think? The... not all dreams are pleasant, sweet dreams are the best dreams thing?
It started really nice... I was in a field of flowers, and I was having a picnic with lots of friends. There was Rita and Yuri, and Cloud, and... you were there, too...
But these shadowy figures came in from the forest and attacked us, and everyone got hurt... and...
So I tried to tend to their wounds, but when I reached out... my hands turned into claws. I couldn't do anything to help, but everyone was suffering, and... all I could do to end their pain was...
[Her eyes well up with tears. She tries to wipe them away.]
I mean, I— you remember what I told you last week, right? H-how I... what I did to that kid in that other place... so... I get it! Feeling like you can't forgive yourself even though you didn't have any better options...
[ he puts the handkerchief back in his pocket, and he'll... kind of pull her into a slightly awkward hug if she seems okay with it?? god he's bad at this. ]

Y-yeah... Harrow and I... we found Marie in there. There were a bunch of shadows so we couldn't see much.

[She just... lets that sink in.]

I tried to go in there, but it was like my body just froze... I couldn't move forward another step...
[She kind of looks like she's barely staying on her feet right now, though.]

A-are you okay? You look— um, like you don't feel great.
[ comes over to put a hand on her shoulder to try to steady her? ]

[She'll let him help her.]
Actually, something else happened this morning...

I'm sorry...

[ he will grab a handkerchief out of his pocket and offer that to her if she needs it??
...it's clean, but he won't blame her if she thinks it's gross, because god knows it's gotten a lot of use here... ]
And... even if you actually had, that's... you know I'd understand, right?

Wh-- no, you shouldn't have to accept something like that!

[She dabs delicately at her cheeks and under her eyes, and hands it back.] ... Thank you.

I'm glad it was just a dream... I'm glad you're still here.
no subject
Yeah... and I'm glad you're still here too. I... really like you a lot, you know?
