♞ II. written & action.

[Like many others, the recent experiment had caused Elliot Nightray some grief. Unlike everyone else, though, Elliot wasn't worried about his "family" situation now that things were over with. Something else has been worrying him instead. Namely...]

Everyone affected by that experiment had dreams last week, right? Did anyone dream of things that didn't happen? Or things that couldn't have happened?

[Unfortunately, there isn't much to do since it's raining, so housemates can find Elliot sitting near the living room window, reading. It doesn't look like he's enjoying it, though. Something's really bothering him about those dreams.]

[He shakes his head and leans easily against some furniture, never quite turning away from Eliot.]

Not always. Sometimes I dream I'm a sour little child with no sense of humor. Ah, but I'm getting off topic. It sounds like you've had some interesting ones lately, no?

[...is that a jab at him, Break?]

[...anyway, he decides it's alright to answer his question. After all, Break was affected by the experiment, too, he was sure, so perhaps he'd understand what he was talking about.]

During the experiment, I had dreams of things that didn't happen.

[Break? Poking fun at someone? Never.

He raises an eyebrow at the answer though. As far as he can tell, all the dreams were based upon reality. He ought to know. His past as Kevin Regnard was all too real unfortunately. But knowing what he does about a few certain chains... And Elliot certainly wouldn't be bringing it up if he wasn't... concerned about them.]

Did you? That wouldn't be so strange though, now would it? I would think you'd have dreams like that all the time. Is there... something different about this one?

No one else had dreams like that.

[And he was affected just like everyone else. It didn't make sense that he would be a special case. Aside from that...]

Leo also had a similar dream.

[For a smart boy Elliot, you are certainly slow to catch on at times...]

Oh, that's right. Everyone else had dreams of things that happened in their real lives, didn't they?

[He slides more comfortably into the furniture, lounging across it.]

And is Leo insisting it never happened too? Or is it that you're both just so very special?

He thinks that they're normal. [And Elliot was certain that this was impossible.] He thinks they're normal dreams, but that can't be right. That isn't true.

[He did consider that they might just be things he doesn't remember, but even then, something isn't right.]

The facts are stacking up rather quickly against you, it sounds like.

[It's too bad he isn't capable of much pity. But at least here, none of them can access their chains, regardless of whether or not his suspicions are correct.]

Why so certain it's everyone else that's wrong?

[Well, it wasn't so much that everyone else was wrong, but...]

We both had the same dream. During an experiment.

[Sure, he'd only been here to witness two of these experiments, but they seemed way more random than that. It couldn't just be a coincidence.]

[Break finally looks up, tilting his head at the young Nightray.]

Isn't that interesting? Were they bad dreams? I wonder if you'd be so sure it wasn't true if it were a good dream...

I'd be sure if I didn't remember it happening.

[He doesn't specifically address whether or not they were bad dreams, but it's not hard to guess. He'd be a lot less concerned if they were good dreams of events he simply didn't remember happening.]

Memory is a funny thing isn't it? Seems like it gets fuzzier over time. why is it dreams are so hard to remember? Except this last time. Very clear. Oddly so.

I wonder, do you remember what really happened on the dates in question? Maybe your dreams are just showing you what you'd rather not remember.

Of course I remember. [He sounds a bit indignant. One of those events had only happened two years ago—there was no reason that he shouldn't remember. But the other...] Who could forget things like that so easily? There's nothing I'd rather not remember.
