I had a strange dream this week. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it.

Noelle and I were in this strange digital world. A world full of puzzles and odd enemies. It felt very much like a video game. We met a Queen whom we conspired together with. In hindsight, she reminded me a lot of my mother, I think. Right down to her sickening, insidious enjoyment of mobile games...

... Anywho. What's more, is... Kris and Susie were there, too. And this... boy? Who looked like Kris' brother. Vaguely. (I don't know him very well, honestly...)

Kris... completely outclassed me. In every puzzle that I attempted to solve. And just when I thought my ego couldn't be bruised further, Susie laughed at me. Right to my face.

It was... obscenely humiliating.

All that would be odd enough already, you see, but Susie... she comforted me. Susie, of all people!!!

She told me it was okay not to be smart. She even made a very CLEVER Dragon Blazers reference... I was completely flabbergasted my mind could conjure up the image of a Susie that was... Nice?

Some part of me felt like I didn't need to pretend anymore. That it was okay not to succeed at everything. That even if I sucked... REALLY. BADLY. I would still be welcomed onto the team with open wings.

And so, I was a hero. I sacrificed my wing to assist my comrades.

... A stupid decision, but I was rather comfortable with those in my dream, you see.

Absurdly, since I've had that dream, Kris and Susie won't leave my damn mind. They've consumed my thoughts!!! A completely inexplicable phenomena.

... But what's more, and most frightening of all, is that when I woke up, my right arm wouldn't move. The very same arm I'd burned away in my dream.

... What does it all mean, eitherways?

Was it even just a dream?
