Alice: No! How could this happen?! Why did I oversleep? And why didn't Penglai, Shanghai, and Aili wake me up?!
Naturally, the meticulous Kishin had long since sent all three of them into peaceful dreams, then casually altered their memories. That way, no one would know that all of this had been part of her plan.
