Hate it.

Kyle nodded, "It means that kissing her was not the real reason you didn't have nightmares on the nights you kissed her."

"Pardon?" Ethan frowned. Kyle's words didn't sit well with him for some reason.

"This is it, Ethan. Previously, you noticed that whenever Shikera kissed you before sleeping, you didn't have nightmares. But now that she's not here and there's no way for you to see her, you still sleep well without nightmares, right?" Kyle asked.

Ethan gave a small nod without sparing a word.

"Exactly! Then my theory is this, the kiss wasn't the actual cure, it was Shikera herself. What do you do before sleeping these past few nights?"

"Nothing remarkable. I dig more into her whereabouts and then sleep when it's time,' Ethan replied.

"How many hours do you sleep for?" Kyle questioned.

"Three. I have a lot to do so I have to get up as early as possible," Ethan answered reluctantly.
