"Do you remember the question on the invitation—why does life slumber?"

"Look." She pointed at the distant city of Penacony.

"In this Dreamscape, everything is permitted, and anything is possible. An unbearable past fades away like foam, while a tomorrow one refuses to face will never arrive."

"Why do people slumber?... I think it's because they're afraid of waking up from the dream..."

Firefly's words seemed to be an allegory for herself.

She was afraid too—afraid of waking from this dream and having to face that cold medical pod again...

No, it was practically the developers hinting that Firefly and Star Girl were on a date!
