Atelier wakes up trembling the next morning.
It should no longer take her by surprise – the nightmares. But admittedly, she hadn't expected them to follow her all the way to a different world.
They did. Like a curse, they forced her to relive moments of her past that she had largely forgotten. Always the same girl, and always the same damn sequence. She knows they are nothing more than projections of her fevered brain and that she should brush them off, but it is always easier said than done. The smell of smoke is so real it almost choked her.
Eventually, the trembling stops. It always does. As her heart stops pounding, she notices that it is awfully quiet. Usually, she would wake to the small, tired snores of her siblings. She wonders if any of the guardians snores. Does Jungkook?
