So That’s How the Story Goes

Entering the dream this time, Ethan experienced an odd sensation.

He was acutely aware that he had ventured into a dreamscape.

He felt an unsettling detachment from the dream, a sense that he and the dream were peeling apart.

But there was no time to ponder over the whys and hows.

Time was of the essence; every second wasted meant Lana sank deeper into the abyss of the dream.

The longer Lana Mokos languished in the dream, the slimmer the chance of awakening her became.

So like a wraith, Ethan drifted above Goot City.

Unaware of his exact location, he knew only that he must have entered Lana's dream.

Yet this dreamscape was unexpectedly vast, encompassing an entire city.

The speed of a wraith is naturally swift.

Within minutes, Ethan found Lana Mokos.

There she was, in her school uniform, daydreaming by the window.
