A few days pass. It's a beautiful day outside. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming. All of your friends are in a park. You eat an ice cream with Error while the others talk and have fun. Everything looks fine. But. Out of nowhere, everyone begins to melt until only the innermost part is left, the sky turns grey in a horrendous way. You look at Error, which starts to turn to dust, just like everyone else 'Why is it just me left? I also want to go, I don't want to be alone again.' Tears appear in the corner of your eyes and they grow until they spill. Someone hugs you from behind, making you jump. You check the hands that lightly press on your belly. They are black and sticky. Nightmare. You get rid of the hug and turn around to face him "Hello, Sweetie, long time no see" he smiles softly. You paralyze with fear and can't form words "Are you afraid? How cute." He makes a move to touch your face but you manage to take a step back. "Heh, it's okay. I understand all this panic, but relax, I'm not going to hurt you here" This 'here' made you even more apprehensive. "I heard that you are much better! Less suicidal. Still, I can feel your despair from afar. It seems that my actions have had an effect, after all." Nightmare's smile grows when he sees you shaking. "Come here, Sweetie." His voice is authoritative. You hesitate, but end up obeying out of pure fear that he will do something worse. He holds you in his arms until you calm down. He then pushes you up to the length of his arms, holding you by the shoulders. You look into nowhere, absorbed in thoughts. "Listen, and listen well, Sweetie, you don't need these people, they don't really care about you, they just pity you. When you get better, they'll leave you. And Error is the worst of them, he likes to break people and it will end up breaking you and making you worse than you were when he found you." You pay attention, incredulous "But relax, because I see your potential and I can give you something that none of them can. A purpose" "What ... what purpose?" You were hooked like a little fish "Keeping the multiverse in balance. I think you are strong enough to help keep it, quite important, don't you think?" "S-seems to be." "Heh, I knew you were going to agree with me." Nightmare lets you go and continues "When you think you're ready, just think of me and say my name out loud three times in a row and I'll come and get you." Everything starts to disappear "See you later, Sweetie."

You wake up with a huge gasp. Was it all a dream? You remember Nightmare's words vividly. Was he really there or was it just the imagination? You check the time and it's 3:47 in the morning. You try, but you can't sleep the rest of the night.

Later in the morning, you go to the kitchen for breakfast. You sit at the table and put (F/D) in a cup as usual, together with (F/BF). Ink prepares pancakes on the stove and Error takes a coffee and fiddles with his cell phone "Good morning (Y/N), how did you sleep?" Ink turns his head to greet you "Or rather asking, did you even sleep? You have horrible dark circles" Error enters the conversation "A nightmare?" "Practically." "And what was it like? Well, if you don't want to tell it's fine too" "Everyone was there, but they started to melt and then turn to dust" you decide not to talk about Nightmare appearing in your dream, for reasons that you don't even understand.

Nightmare is the Bloody Mary now. Pull the flush, turn on the tap and speak his name three times in front of the mirror to summon him
