If there was anything that would have woken up Lukas now–that was it. He had no room to waste his time on idle conversations with a Dream Eater, cute girl or not.
When Lukas finally opened his eyes, he found himself in the desert as usual but in a position where he couldn't even see where the van was. He stared up at the sky and tried to discern how much time had passed.
"How many hours do we have left till morning arrives?" Lukas asked himself.
"U-um, still several you know?" a voice spoke out of nowhere.
"How am I hearing you when I'm no longer stuck in the dream world." Lukas gazed around his surroundings with a frown. Was he stuck in a dream within a dream? That was something that happened in the past.
"Over here! Dig me out!" Her voice became far more obvious, the location seemingly coming into his ear and yet emanating from the underground as well.
"And why should I even do that?" Lukas frowned as he thought he saw something sparkling beneath the sands.
