*Teddie wakes up from his slumber by his ringtone and blinks in confusion first. Then the dream pieces itself together.*

Oh. You saw ... Well, it really helps that you think so! I know that's not the case anymore.

[Voice]

[bearrific]

You don't need to worry about that. It's bit weird sharing these things, but I don't mind if I get to talk to others like this.

*It helps, Teddie thinks.*

[Tears welled up in Rise's eyes. She immediately made out that the scene taking place was in the TV world and that it had seemed like the time when Teddie had disappeared for a while. Why else would Teddie say something about not being able to go back?

Unsure whether he had been up by then, she wipes away the tears from her eyes and places a quick video call a few minutes after seeing the initial dream. He was there when she needed him to listen to her. Now it was her turn.]

Oh Teddie. You aren't useless. Not at all.

[bearrific]

Rise-chan ...

*Teddie's voice is shaky, but he sounds happy, touched.* Thanks! I ... I was just bit lost at that time is all. I'm fine now.

[notjust_risette]

You know you can talk to any of us whenever you're lost right? Well, at least you can talk to me here.

[Her tone is a little sarcastic but it's more than obvious that she was just kidding around.]

I mean, I'm just upstairs after all.

[bearrific]

Weell~ I can't refuse an invitation like that.

*A little chuckle. It really does remind him that he's not alone, talking to Rise like this.*

I know. I can always count on you guys. I met Sensei right after that, you know? I don't really get how, but he was inside this cool car. I think, he wanted me to find my way.

[bearrific]

Heh heh! Wow, I'm being comforted by all the pretty ladies after this dream - *more like a nightmare. Teddie tries to sound cheery, but his voice easily gives away his shakiness.*

... Thank you, Mami-chan. I just dreamed of time when I was lost.

[bearrific]

*Because he is just a ladies man like that.*

I would lying if I say I am not bothered by it. I'm still little afraid of being alone like that. But *a pause* my heart's stronger now.

And you guys keep me company. It's a big help!

[She frowns, and tilts her head.]

Nobody's useless.

[bearrific]

I-I know ... It was just a very depressing time for me.

*His closest friend almost dying and all that.*

But my voice helped a friend recover! I was useful in the end.

[incorruption]

...I understand, a little.

[She smiles.]

I'm glad about that! I'm happy that you were able to help too.

video; 1/2

[bearrific]

So was I. When I thought Nana-chan almost died, I felt like I broke my promises to her.

*a little frown -*

[forgetsyounot]

T-Teddie...?

[This is the first time Shirley has ever seen anyone else's dream... She'd been told that it was possible, and that she could even walk in and interact, in some cases.

But perhaps she didn't believe it until now.

All of this fog...]

You haven't done anything wrong, Teddie. And you certainly aren't useless. Why...why are you apologizing?

[Of course, she has no idea who Teddie may be speaking to.]

Please...wake up.

[bearrific]

H-hey ... I'm okay. You don't have to sound so sad.

*And Teddie returns the responsible with frizzled bed fur and surprised look.*

I'm really fine! It was just a dream, Shirley-chan.

[forgetsyounot]

[Oh--

The frizzled bedhead makes her smile, she has to admit. And his words are reassuring, at least, so she breathes a sigh of relief.]

...I'm sorry. But you scared me. I-I don't like to hear people talking like that...

It makes it sound like you're just...giving up...

[bearrific]

... Yeah. I did give up that time.

*He admits it wasn't the most smart choice he has made. But he has never been overwhelmed by such sadness before either ...*

It was my first time experiencing something like that - I won't give up so easily now though!
