Nighttime. The bros and Chalice are asleep. Chalice hears Cuphead tossing and turning in his sleep. She opens her eyes and stood by his bedside.

Chalice: Is he having another nightmare? If he is, I need to wake him up.

Then suddenly, with his eyes still closed, Cuphead gets out of bed and starts walking out of the room in his sleep.

Chalice: Oh, this is not good.

Chalice shook Mugman awake.

Chalice: (whispers) Mugs. Wake up. We have a problem.

Mugman opens his eyes.

Mugman: (yawns) What time is it?

Mugman looks at the clock.

Mugman: It's two in the morning. What is so important?

Chalice: Cuphead is sleepwalking and won't wake up. I think he's having a nightmare again.

Mugman jumps out of bed.

Mugman: Oh, god....that is a problem....we need to wake him up before he gets hurt!

Chalice: Agreed.

Downstairs, Cuphead is still walking in his sleep and bumps into a wall.

Cuphead: (sleepily) Ow. Ow. Ow.

Cuphead keeps on bumping into the same wall without walking up. Mugman and Chalice runs downstairs to find Cuphead sleepwalking around the house.

Mugman: He keeps on bumping into walls.

Chalice: We need to wake him up somehow.

Mugman: And he needs to tell us what he is dreaming about. Let him be asleep for a bit longer and let's see what happens.

Cuphead: (sleepily) N-no.

Mugman: ??

Cuphead: (sleepily) M-mom.....D-Dad....n-no....please.....

Chalice: Oh, my gosh....he's dreaming about your parents.....

Mugman: He must be having a nightmare about our past.

Chalice: I'm sorry, but I think your past was pretty messed up.

Mugman: No, you're not wrong. It was messed up.....I need to wake him up now....he needs to tell us about what's going on.....

Mugman taps his brother's shoulder.

Mugman: Cups?

With his eyes closed still, Cuphead turns around, tears coming out of his eyes. Mugman grabs him by the shoulders and gently shakes him.

Mugman: Cups, wake up! You're having a nightmare.

Cuphead shot his teary eyes open.

Cuphead: PLEASE DON'T!.....Huh? Mugs? Chalice? What are y-

Mugman: Were you having a nightmare again?

Cuphead threw his arms around his brother, crying. Mugman hugs him back.

Later, Cuphead has a stress headache from crying.

Mugman: Feeling better now, Cups?

Cuphead: Yeah.....I guess I'm not completely better yet....I think I need therapy.

Mugman: We both do. I haven't been getting better, either.

Cuphead: Guess I'm not the only one.

Mugman: Yeah.
