*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Yup. Do not approach. He is sending a very clear message.''

*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''What is the purpose of taking nightmares?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Dream Demons eat dreams and gain power from it. But Vasili was born with a body that can only consume nightmares.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''That's why the more he uses his power, the more he hurts himself... You have to stop him.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Why is he doing this? This will only hurt himself.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I don't know what he saw at the bottom of the Abyss... But he must have thought there's no chance.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I guess he thought if he puts everyone to sleep and let them dream happily, everyone would at least die painlessly...''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''He decided to give up everything. What was it that he saw through the gap...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I'm sorry. It's my fault for pushing him over the edge. If we had evacuated, he wouldn't have gone that far.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''From the way he's straining himself, I think he's planning on extending his power to those of us waiting outside. He won't be able to handle that.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''The dream made me happy... But I can't settle for it. This is not the time.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I do not wish for happiness that requires exploitation of others. Let's get him out.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''... You're always trying your best, even in your dreams. You don't have to do that.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I know. You're always nervous when things don't go according to plan. You're scared everything will be beyond your control.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''But unexpected things always happen. You can't control everything. And even when that happens, it can still be fun.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''In the morning, towards the west where the moon falls, in the evening, towards the east where the moon rises again.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Head north to face the cool wind, and head south to feel the warm breath of earth.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Even if it's a life of nomads, it's more important to live happily, don't you think?''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Don't... fall... asleep!''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I know! I know that... I do...''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''Do whatever you can! Pinch yourself!''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I always wanted to tell you there's no reason to fear change, but it must be overwhelming for you, who lived as a hunting dog for so long.''

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I smell... the ocean... Uhh... Did I fall asleep?''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Familiar scent... Illusion from a daydream... Even in this bleak setting.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''There's no dream you cannot wake from.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''It's luring me. As if telling me to stop resisting...''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''A snowy night... The moment I walked into the house with my brother in my arms... It's the happies memory in my life. I won't trade it for anything.''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''This is deception. I will not be satisfied by this temporary relief.''
