[ Oh no

OH NOOOOO ]

Ah . . .

[ He remembers it clearly -- but he's not gonna say anything ]

I definitely don't wanna miss Tanabata! I really owe you one, Lyra.

You were asleep for way too long!

How'd you know "The Sign is B", though? That's a song from where I'm from.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

Someone really special taught it to me.

[suspicious squint]

And who would that be?

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ girrrrrl ]

She's got a star in her eye~

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

[it was a dream you can't expect her to remember]

When?

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ Just laughs ]

Pretty sure we were both sleeping at the time.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

What happened in the dream?

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ Considers for a moment, then opts to just be honest ]

There was a hospital room, and a girl waiting for someone to come keep her company.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

[She's silent for a moment, rolling a thought around in her head.]

She was who I used to be.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

Who you "used" to be?

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

... My past life. She died when she was twelve.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ ................... Oh. ]

Your-- past life? You remember it?

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

Mmm... yeah. I do. She's part of my dreams a lot. They usually... aren't good.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ Being a dying child in a hospital with neglectful parents is probably like that, isn't it . . . ]

This wasn't a bad dream. You were waiting for your doctor friend to come see you, and we threw a party in the meantime. Your friends were all there to celebrate you.

[She closes her eye for a moment, thinking... though there's a hint of sadness at the mention of 'doctor' that disappears as quick as it appeared]

I do remember waking up feeling pretty good for once a couple of days ago... I don't remember any of that, but I usually don't sleep because of bad dreams. The fact that I woke up feeling okay means something was good.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

For multiple reasons ]

. . . I'm really glad to hear that.


[ @ the whims of dreamwalking: PUT HIM IN THERE HE'LL FIX IT ]

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

... Thank you for whatever you did? If... you did anything.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ He's not copping to SHIT ]

All I did was cheer everyone on.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

[suspicious squint]

That's still doing something. . .

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ The face of innocence ]

Hmmm? Well, I guess so.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

You're suspicious, Minuet.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[featherduster]

[ DON'T CALL HIM OUT ]

Anyway, what matters is you felt better when you woke up! Maybe it was like, some kinda inner healing.

Re: day 22, before tanabata

[aididitmyway]

For that night, at least...
