[AND THEN EVERYONE WOKE UP.

For his part, Ryner is jerking awake in bed and looking around frantically!

How... did you know I was dreaming?

[artificialcommand]

If I were to say "just a feeling" it would sound like a horrible lie.

[stigmateyes]

Coming from you... yes.

[stigmateyes]

... So you... saw the same thing?

[artificialcommand]

Judging from your reaction, I can only assume so.

[stigmateyes]

Ahh, I'm...

[artificialcommand]

...You're not holding up as well as you pretend to.

[stigmateyes]

... You guys don't need my problems when you're working through your own.

[artificialcommand]

The whole reason we're here is to deal with another world's problems. I think I can make the effort to help you with yours, since I actually care about you.

[stigmateyes]

[Yeah, just going to stare at for a moment there...]

[artificialcommand]

[what this should be obvious right]

Yes?

[stigmateyes]

[I'm not good with having feelings expressed in my general direction. :x]

Ahh, it just seemed like everyone had bigger things to deal with. I guess after Sky... I thought I'd try the responsible thing for once. See how that went.

[artificialcommand]

Forgive me for saying so, but it doesn't suit you at all.

[stigmateyes]

Haaaaah, it really doesn't it. It's not my sort of thing at all. I just want to take a nap.

[artificialcommand]

Then you should. We won't fall apart while you're not looking. And it won't do anyone any good if you're not up to the task because you're tired.

[stigmateyes]

... I didn't do enough to help Sion before he went into the Book. I just wanted to lie around and avoid work.

[artificialcommand]

If guilt is the only reason you want to help, then I'll say bluntly that it's the wrong motivation.

[stigmateyes]

Ahh, it's not guilt, it's... I want to do things right from the start this time. Only Pascal's left from Sky's Amethyst. I thought maybe I could be a better teammate or something this time...

[artificialcommand]

I had hoped that might be the case. But it will take time to change something like that. You know, don't you?

[stigmateyes]

Time isn't something Amethyst seems to have lately.

[artificialcommand]

We'll see if we can make a bit more.

[stigmateyes]

Mm...

[artificialcommand]

...If you need something, you should say so. Don't hide it.

[stigmateyes]

... I just want to keep Amethyst safe. And it keeps getting harder and harder...

[artificialcommand]

Harder how?
