It's been more than a year since the beginning of The Comfort Zone Era. Most people right now are inside their homes. Scared about what happened and wondering if they're the next victim of King's wrath. However, there's someone heading to someone's house. He's covered up fearing King's presence is near. Covered in a large pink and red blanket.
After he made it, he frantically looks around making sure no one's around. Shaking and tearing up while holding his stuffed dog. Now that he knows that no one's there, he instantly knocks on the door.
"It's unlocked." He rushes inside the house.
After he closes the door, he just stands there facing it crying and shaking. As he's crying, someone comes downstairs tying up his blue comfort blanket as a small cape. Instantly, he heard him crying at the front door. He sees him and rushes over.
He stands by him, "Oh Yume. What's wrong?"
He responds through his tears after a while of crying, "I'm so scared. He could be here to come after me next. Just like what happened to Light." He burst into tears while cuddling with his stuffed dog and blanket.
He hugs him, "Oh I know. It's so scary seeing him that angry. I'm scared of what he'll do to me too."
He looks at him with a smile when he thought of something, "You know what? I know what we should do. I just finished this room I was talking about."
He grabs his hand and takes him there, "Come on. You'll love it."
Both of them head over to his new calming room. A room that everyone dreams of. Peace. Nothing to bother a soul. The house has three floors. One consisting a living room and a large kitchen. The calming room is in the second floor near the staircase to the third floor. When they made it, Yume finally stops crying. That's where he sees the door is cracked open. He gets close to it, he puts his hand on the door and opens it.
He's frozen. Frozen in shock for how amazing it looks. It's like he's in another world. After a while, he goes in there with the guy following him. As he's looking, he spots a string of hearts flowing around the room. He then found a music box playing music. The music it's playing is Sweetheart's lullaby. Seeing it play, he stands in front of it.
While he looks at it, the guy watches him from behind with a smile. However, with the music playing for a while, Yume gets tired and rubs his eyes.
He comes up to him fearing he'll fall over, "Oh Yume. I forgot music puts you to sleep. Here." He picks him up and takes him to a corner that has a beanbag made as a bed.
At the beanbag bed, he sets Yume down and tucks him in. After that, he has a window that he made to see everything outside. Right now, it's around the time he makes his sweets since he ate them all from last week.
"Hey. Are you hungry? I'm going to go make some sweets downstairs."
He responds to him with a smile with his eyes halfway open, "I would love some."
He pets his head, "Alright. I'll be downstairs." He gets up and makes his way to the kitchen to start baking.
As he left the room, he gets tired again and falls asleep onto the soft pillows that's on the beanbag bed. Sleeping out his fears of King's wrath. Thanks to the calming room, he calmed down knowing he's safe and sound. But he'll have to go home before it gets dark. Will he faces his fears again doing so? Let's hope so.
