Abner had helped many Giants and Half-Giants escape Nightmares, so he was quite experienced in this regard. At a glance, he noticed something wrong with that so-called "Werewolf."
The inconsistencies mainly lay in three aspects:
First, it was far too large! Jane had seen Werewolves before. She had even killed the Werewolf Tyr with her own hands to avenge her mother. So even if she still harbored fear over what had happened that night, she would not have exaggerated a Werewolf to such an extent... That was unreasonable.
Second, in this dream, the Werewolf merely held Jane's "mother" in its hand without making any further move, only howling madly at the moon... This likewise did not fit the logic of an ordinary Nightmare... Based on my previous experience, a Werewolf repeatedly torturing and killing someone precious to her would be the proper "plot" for a Nightmare...
Third, Jane was actually just a helpless little girl crying... That was very wrong... Trying to use her abilities to save her mother, only to find them ineffective and being forced to watch her mother get killed—that sort of "development" would be more reasonable and more in line with the style of this Nightmare island.
