DREAM 02 ❀ IF EVERYTHING IS WHAT IT IS--

effects: A cheerful feeling, but a lingering sense of loneliness

There's a girl of six or seven years sitting by the lake. She giggles and flops her feet into the water (never mind that her shoes and stockings are now drenched.

She's singing cheerfully... peacefully. But she keeps looking over her shoulder.

Something that should be there... isn't.

But she's waiting for him. He wouldn't leave her alone.

Then minutes turn to hours, but no one shows. It's getting colder, and the light is quickly fading.

Had she been forgotten? Where was her brother?

Picking herself up she crawls across the grass, calling his name -- Oz? Oz!!

But no one answers. No one can answer. Because her brother is gone now. She forgot. She thought her days would always remain as peaceful and cheerful as the ones before.

It was then... that she realized she was wrong.

[Ada wakes up slowly, to tears on her cheeks and a scary feeling in her chest. Every time she had spoken to her brother, it always seemed to be something... well... bad. And he had been acting differently... worrying about things. Things that frightened her. Things out of her grasp. And again she had this feeling that -- just like at that time... there was nothing she could do. She could not reach him.]

[ Cue the insta worry that washes over her face. ]

Oh no, Ada... are you alright?

[She didn't want to make people worry. But she can see why... after what they saw.]

Oh no! I... I'm okay. It's just... It happened a long time ago...

[ Yeah, and right now, she's worried. ]

I- it did? I'm so sorry...

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Mm. [Ada nods. She won't lie.]

My brother disappeared once, when I was little. I guess it still bothers me sometimes...

B-but I don't want to be a bother...

I can only imagine. It must have been very difficult for you.

[ fkubadg Her frown deepens. ] You're not a bother at all, Ada! I want to help you! Please, let me if I can do anything for you.

I just... I want to keep my brother safe. I know I can't be sure when he... or anyone will leave this place but... I hope I can do my best to look out for him here... the way I couldn't back then.

[But she smiles softly. Because... she's stronger now, right? There's hope.]

That's so sweet. [ ... And then it hits her. ]

Alright, then I'll help! [ Her fists curl up and WHOA UP IN FRONT OF THE VID SHE GOES. ] I want to help protect your brother with you!
