Has anyone had dreams where they were... someone else entirely? I don't mean like living a different life. I had those too. I mean ... literally being someone else. In a different body and everything. It's ...

[ Scary. A frown tugs down the corner of her mouth. ]

What about ... different places? Like ... like there were other worlds out there. Lots of them, not just one.

[ Her dreams were vague, and fragmented, but she thinks she remembers... a city in a desert. And a place that was dark, and spooky, with all these tombstones and ghosts...

But what woke her up was something else entirely. A disturbing dream about being stuck in some sort of pod in a bright white place... and a man with long silver hair and orange eyes staring at her. Why had he been there? What had he wanted with her?

Why had it hurt like that? So sharp, and suffocating...

Her dreams suggest... something. Another person. But she's almost afraid to ask. Still... ]

... Sora? Can I talk to you?

[ As soon as she finishes saying the words she feels silly for asking. What can he tell her? After all, they're just friends... not even best friends, like her and Ven are. Even if he was in her dreams.... Nnnn. Stupid Shifts... Maybe she should just go back to sleep. ]

...it's Xion.]

Buffy Horner. Mixed in with the dreams about living another life.

[ She asks only because this is hard and scary and it's both sad and a little comforting to know she's not the only one. ]

... so it's not just me. I feel sorry for her. I know firsthand now how scary that is. I hope she'll be okay.

The monsters roaming around have turned out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise, in that regard.

The last I saw, she was planning to vent said fear with some healthy violence.

But, yes, she did say those dreams were the most...concerning. I can't say that I blame her.

... I wish I could do that. But I don't want to risk getting hurt. [ eh heh. ] But I hope it helps her, at least.

I can't either! I hope this Shift stops soon. [ a beat. ] Hey, you know... I wonder if this is still part of the same Shift that got us all mixed around. Maybe we're just seeing more side effects now?

I think it will. [If he believes in the dreams, he knows it will.]

No, I've actually been wondering as much myself. I wonder if we were due to experience these dreams and visions from the start, and the Malnosso only managed to delay them until after the festival?

... they must have tried, but it couldn't be stopped forever... that's a shame. They do so much for us. [ Even if sometimes it's not enough. ] I'm glad they were able to hold it off until now, at least. We work so hard on the festival and it would have been sad to see it ruined.

Re: [Voice | Filtered Away From Family 95%]

Yes. I'm glad we had that, at least. You did an amazing job during the concert, Xion. Everyone did. I would have hated to see you lose such a chance.

But even the Malnosso can't do everything. We have to manage on our own, sometimes.

[ ... slkdghsj praise from her teacher ;~; that makes her feel a little better. ] ... thank you.

Yeah, I guess we do. We'll be okay. Like any Shift, it'll go away eventually, right? [ putting on a brave face, here. ]

Re: [Voice | Filtered Away From Family 95%]

Of course. No shift lasts forever. We'll probably be exhausted for a while, but there are worse fates.

And I'd prefer it to be happening now, rather than earlier.
