[Well this is. Lovely.

Somehow, Byakuya's nightmare has become a very vivid and lucid one. As sometimes happens, he's stuck in a small room, dim and bare with no visible door and only the sound of worms crawling on the other side of the wall.

This isn't new. What's new is turning around to see Shinji in the room with him.]

...Shinji?

[disenfranchised]

[ there's a series of emotion stewing behind shinji's eyes currently -- confusion; apprehension; disorientation. he'd thought he was asleep and in a lot of ways, it still feels like it. but his dreams usually weren't set up like this, and they certainly weren't so lucid feeling. somehow, the byakuya standing in front of him feels genuine, though. not how he usually appeared in shinji's dreams. ]

Dad... ?
What's going on?

[ he surveys the room. man, it's creepy.
the atmosphere feels thick enough to choke on; heavy enough to crush him. ]

[didnteventry]

It's--

This should be a dream. You're never in this part...

[disenfranchised]

So it is, then... but then, why do I feel awake -- [ he turns around, realizing there's no exit. ] Wh-what am I supposed to do -- ??

Wait.
You've had this dream before?

[didnteventry]

Wait-- You can't just be in my dream and be you. You've gotta be dream Shinji!

[disenfranchised]

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm me -- !!

[didnteventry]

That's what Dream Shinji would say too.

[disenfranchised]

Ugh! HOW DO I GET OUT OF YOUR STUPID DREAM I'm so supposed be asleep, not hanging out with you!

[didnteventry]

[huh. Maybe this IS real Shinji.

grumblesss]

You probably don't want to know.

[disenfranchised]

Huh? [ he's shuffling around the room, recoiling at the sound of what obviously were them coming from the other side of the walls. ]

Th-there's no way out of here!
Do you dream like this a lot? [ BECAUSE IT'S REALLY DUMB. ]

[didnteventry]

Yeah, sometimes. You have to break down the wall, but they'll be there when you do.

[disenfranchised]

Nope.

Not doing that.

[didnteventry]

Then I guess we can sit in here until we wake up.

[disenfranchised]

Your dreams suck.

[ he could be enjoying a dream about shirou cooking him whatever he asked for while wearing an apron ONLY AN APRON RIGHT NOW ???? ]




What happens?
When you break down the wall... and they're there.

[didnteventry]

You have to run down a hallway. If you stop for even a second, they'll eat you. At the other end... I dunno. It changes.

[disenfranchised]

Ugh... [ the thought of it makes him want to collapse in on himself, but. ] Th-that's really stupid! Nngh. What's wrong with your head -- ?

[didnteventry]

Kid, you don't even know. I'm probably some shrink's dream case.

[sighs and kicks a wall]

You're not any better, though.

[disenfranchised]

Hey, I'm not the one dragging other people into my dreams!

[didnteventry]

Do you think I did it on purpose?

[disenfranchised]

I'M JUST SAYING.

[didnteventry]

You're just being a brat.

[feeling along the walls for the inevitable weak point]

There should be something to break this with somewhere in here.

[disenfranchised]

Y-you're really going to break it -- ? [ his heart jumps a little at the thought of seeing them, yet he still finds himself looking for the supposed item. ]

Nngh... [ oh, there. a big socket wrench. ]

[didnteventry]

Do you want to sit here indefinitely?

[disenfranchised]

More than I'd rather die, yes!

[didnteventry]

[Looks at Shinji.

Looks at wall.

Looks back to Shinji.]

You can give me the wrench or we can have a heart-to-heart. You pick.
