[When you woke at midnight, with no one by your side]
[You found cold sweat beading on your brow, your entire body trembling uncontrollably]
[As you sat alone at the edge of the bed, trying to sort through the chaos in your mind]
[You felt as if someone had struck you on the head, leaving you dizzy and disoriented]
[The string of nightmares from before blurred into an indistinct haze in your mind]
[Making you feel that something would suddenly... appear right beside you]
"...Could you stop reciting such creepy narration?"
Turning to look at the rabbit that had abruptly appeared on the bedside table, Night Owl wore a completely expressionless face.
"Well~ I was worried you might be scared, so I casually recited a little poem to lighten the mood."
Hiding the carrot in its paw behind its back, the rabbit hopped down from the bedside table and landed in front of her, looking utterly innocent.
"So, do you feel motivated to get moving now?"
"How much farther is it?"
Showing no intention of answering the rabbit's question, Night Owl raised her head to look over the dim bedroom before her and asked woodenly.
—This was already the fifth nightmare scene she had gone through.
Earlier, she had listened as the rabbit gave her a detailed explanation of her task. The task itself sounded simple enough: she only needed to assist it in going somewhere and retrieving a seed.
As for everything else, it had not said much.
At first, she had thought this was merely a highly challenging task. But now, she was absolutely certain.
...This was going to be a mission that got her killed.
To reach the final destination of the task, they had to use one dream after another as stepping stones to move forward.
