Crystal, once again waking up in a dark void, alone with no one in sight. She frantically looks around, feeling frustrated.*

Crystal: Ughhh, this is the same exact dream I keep having. W-Why can't I have good dreams...

*Suddenly, Amy pops out of the shadows.*

Crystal: Wait...Amy...?

Amy: ...

Crystal: Amy...please...I-I don't want to have nightmares anymore.... *walks close to Amy*  I-I just want to sleep peacefully again....why...why can't I do that....

Amy: ...

Crystal: ... *sighs* I'm...I'm just glad you're....here...?

*Crystal reaches in to hug Amy, but she instantly disappears in a cloud of smoke.*

Crystal: Huh?

"Crystal..."

Crystal: Oh, nononono, not again...

*A shadowy figure of DJ Octavio appears from the smoke, this time, carrying Amy with a gun pointed at her.*

Crystal: NO, LEAVE HER ALONE! SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! I-IT WAS MY FAULT FOR LEAVING...THIS...THIS IS ALL MY FAULT...

*DJ Octavio puts the gun closer to Amy, and gets ready to shoot.*

Crystal: No....NO....

Amy: Crystal...CRYSTAL! CRYSTAL, WAKE UP!

*Crystal starts to wake up, her face covered in tears.*

Crystal: What...I...

Amy: You were shouting my name a lot, and you were crying again, so I had to wake you u-

*Crystal reaches in and hugs Amy.*

Amy: Uhh, this is awkward... 0-o

Crystal: Oh, um, sorry... *backs away from her*

Amy: Crystal, I won't lie....I'm getting concerned...

Crystal: Um, w-what do you mean? E-Everything's just f-fine...^^"

Amy: ...I don't know, something feels wrong about you. It's been about two and a half weeks since you got there, and literally every morning, you wake up with tears in your eyes.

Crystal: I...

Amy: Do you even get much sleep? I heard noises of you walking around late at night...

Crystal: Oh uh, t-that was just me sleepwalking...^^"

Amy: You ate all my chocolate bars last night... TwT

Crystal: I- um... I was- I was jus-

Amy: Look Crystal....do you need to tell me something? I'm listening.

Crystal: I....I don't know if...

Amy: You can tell me anything, Crystal. What's been bothering you?

Crystal: Um...uhhh.... 0~0"

Amy: ...Crystal?

Crystal: Uhhhhhhhhh, l-let's go play Turf War! Ok? Ok. I'll get dressed. You call your team. Bye! *rushes to the bathroom*

Amy: ...Uh....ok... :/

Crystal: *shuts the bathroom door, and sighs* I...I don't know if I can tell her... what if...what if she doesn't understand...what if she thinks I'm a loser after I tell her...what do I do...

*Amy listens to the entire thing by hearing it from the bathroom door.*

Amy: ...Man...that's just- OW!
