Warnings: Blood a lot of blood.
Dream Effects: Even though there are obvious injuries, there is absolutely no pain. All you feel is fear and failure.
The picture is blurred, there is a pool of a seafoam blue from an aerial view and a deep crimson color spreading out around the pool.
The vision focuses finally on a pair of hands which are also covered in the deep crimson liquid and shaking.
There is the sound of heavy breathing.
"Youji..." a young boy's voice is heard, the point of view.
He looks down at his stomach that has blood spreading across his white shirt. He's been injured terribly, but there is absolutely no pain.
Suddenly, the view is crumpled to the ground so that he's laying feet away from the other young boy with the sea foam blue hair.
The shaking hand reaches out towards the other boy.
"....You...ji...." the words are thick and moist, blood bubbling up in the boy's throat.
"At least...you didn't have to feel anything, ne? We...should have been more careful...."

[And of course, when you die in a dream, you wake up.
Natsuo's eye opens and there's a tear streaming down the side of his face. He can feel the wet and just wipes it off.
He sees that the dreamberry is on.]
Stupid thing turning on while I'm sleeping.
[He slams his hand onto it and turns it off]
