EDENSPHERE NAME: Squall
DREAM: "Can I tell you a story?"
She turned to look at someone. Smiled. Flowers everywhere, as far as the eye could see, the sunlight, the wind. But the only thing she wanted to look at was this one person. He turned to look back at her and-
"I had a dream."
The man was gone. She was all alone. Where was he? Panic began to set in. Where was he? Where did he go? She turned around in the endless field of flowers, called and shouted.
"It was a scary dream."
She started to run. Where did he go? Where was he? She was all alone. You promised.
"I... I just want to see you so badly."
The field of flowers gave way to an ocean that stretched all the way to the horizon. She couldn't find him. Her fingers clenched around two rings dangling from a necklace at her throat. You promised. I need you.
"So I scream."
The words tore themselves from her throat. Where are you? Where are you!? They echoed out across the ocean and the waves brought them back to her. Where are you... Where are you...
"I was crying."
She began to run again. Straight out into the ocean. The waves shivered and in one single breath pulled back. The world began to distort. Change. The ocean floor below became the tiled cement of an outside terrace and the waves the blue-blue sky idling by. The wind was in her hair and the birds above were calling. But she kept running.
"How about this..."
The steps beneath her feet shifted, flattened, and a gleaming polished floor spread out before her. The clouds shifted into marble columns and the sound of birds became an haunting song she couldn't quite catch the strains of. Faceless figures waltzed across the floor.
"I'll be here."
She pushed through the elegant dancers. Eyes searching every face, she almost cried to find they were all blank. Not a single feature to even find familiar. Empty. She kept searching.
"I'll be waiting for you."
She pushed past another couple when a sense drew her; she turned. And as she did so did the world. The lights, the music, the dancers, the starry night sky: they all melted away to reveal a stark wasteland. Heavy mist kept the eye from seeing too far and a creeping darkness made details hard to discern.
"If you come here, you'll find me."
She clutched her necklace as she walked through the dark mist. I need you. Don't leave me. Walking, forever walking, distance didn't seem to matter in this place. Was she walking for hours or was it only minutes? That feeling drew her forward. She saw a figure in the mist.
"I promise."
And the world went black.
