(A/N: its Hurt/comfort time baby! I cannot do angst on its own so my choice will probably always be hurt/comfort as i use writing as an escape from life and even if its only for a brief moment. Lmao Phobos is fucking trash at comforting with words.)

You walked through the halls of the Science Tower, quiet, no one was there. You called out yet no on came. Its weird, everything felt so...wrong...so off, well you knew that the Science Tower housed some dark secrets and experiements yet it felt worse than that. Everything felt even duller and darker than usual, The walls felt icecold and as if they were crushing you. Something in these halls, something you cant see, was flowing through them, like some sort of negative energy. You didnt like this one bit yet you couldnt bring yourself to talk, something stopped you from calling out. You..just couldnt talk, it was as if a lump in your throat was stopping you.

As you walked through the empty halls you hoped to god you would find someone, ANYONE. Hell even the Crackpot guy you saw from time to time, ANYONE would be better as a companion than walking through these familiar yet strangely unknown halls to you.  
This energy was crushing, it almost felt like it was weighing you down as Shadows danced on the walls, some you could recognize like Phobos and Hofnarr...yet someone who you rarely saw was there, someone with some sort of halo in their sillouette. What were you seeing? When you looked for the source of these shadows, you couldnt find one. It was almost like reality itself was playing tricks on your mind.

After a while you came across people, however, unfamiliar faces, their eyes had this purple-pinkish glow to them and they just stared at you as you tried to communicate, yet something wouldnt let you form words, neither did the people respond to you, they just stared at you as you sometimes heard whispering, sometimes inaudible and sometimes things like "Its all your fault" , "This happened because of you" or "Why did you do this?". You had no idea what that meant, what did you do? At a point you just began running, you couldnt take this constant whispering anylonger. Reality itself seeming to shift around you like this all was just some fucked up game glitch. It was only when you reached the top you were stopped, stunned into silence, frozen in place. On the podium, the god emperor laid, crimson liquid escaping from a wound in his body which looked pretty pale by now, Dr Christoff standing there, bloodied Binary Blade with the same halo you saw in the shadows. The emperor has been slain. 
He turned to face you, his eyes equally as purple as that of the humanoids you saw before. This cant be real. THIS CANT BE REALITY. THIS ISNT REAL, THIS HAS TO BE SOME FUCKED ILLUSION. THIS WASNT YOUR FAULT! YOU DIDNT DO THIS! YOU HAD NO HAND IN THIS! YOU-

And with that you jolted awake. Sweat running down our body as you sat in your bed, trembling. It was just a nightmare, a dream, not reality. You needed a few seconds to catch your breath before sighing out in relief. It wasnt real, it was just a trick of the mind.
However it did take some toll on you, you couldnt go back to sleep. Turns out you overslept your entire freeday....how in the hell? How can you possibly sleep over 24 hours...somethings extremly wrong here. 
You stood up, it was currently 5 am in the morning, great, you had work at 7. Well, hunger settled in pretty quickly from not having eaten an entire day, you guessed that you would just eat and stay up until 7, you cant really go back to sleep after...THAT.  As you looked into the mirror you just noticed how the colour was drained from your face. How the hell did one bad dream have SUCH effect on you physically? Its alright though, you just needed to calm down.

As 6 am hit you started to walk to the science tower, thinking about this weird dream more, it takes a heavy toll on you. Something about it just mortified you. Was it not being able to talk? The weird people in it? Or seeing Phobos dead on the ground? Maybe a combination out of all? To others on the streets you looked like a zombie. No not a zed. As in, you were pale and looked incredibly tired to the point they thought your brain was just running on auto pilot.
