"WHAT? DID YOU really just say that?" Henrique questioned as he blinked in disbelief. "Josie, what are you talking about? What are you not telling me?"

Josette wiped her mouth with a towel that Olivia and Lucas had provided. Meanwhile, Kai also cleaned up his mouth and gave a reassuring nod towards his twin. "Henrique," Josette began, her voice tinged with concern, "when and why did Father meet you?"

Kai chimed in, interjecting into the conversation. "He was there, last night, at the Halloween party."

Josette glanced between him and Henrique, awaiting a further elaboration. Henrique pondered before he spoke. "He led me out of the party and into the night with his magic, I believe. He knocked me out unconscious. Damon and Kai found me sprawled on the floor. When I woke up, Father appeared and warned us about an evil being unleashed from the crumbled Prison World. He said that the three of us were the cause of this."

Henrique then turned to face Olivia and Lucas, ignoring Josette who was about to speak once more. "What about the two of you? Any dreams?"

Olivia and Lucas exchanged knowing glances before the latter spoke. "Yeah, he was there in our dreams too. We both shared the same dream. The ending always stayed the same: both of our deaths."

A frustrated and soft sigh escaped Henrique's mouth before he turned to his older brother. "Kai?" He asked, earning a soft look from him. The older Parker nodded, making the younger Parker furrow his eyebrows. "And you didn't think to let me know? I thought we were in this together?"

Kai exhaled. "I didn't want you to worry! You're always worrying about everyone and everything. It's enough for you to worry about one thing at a time."

"Oh, so now you give a fuck?" Henrique blurted out, his eyes filled with rage and his tone laced in sarcasm. Kai only sighed, looking away.

"That dream..." Henrique asked as he frowned, crossing his arms. "What happened?" He asked Josette and Kai, curiously despite being infuriated. Olivia and Lucas had already shared theirs. It was time for the other pair of twins.

Josette looked at Kai and he nodded, assuring her to share their dream with Henrique. "Kai and I have been dreaming the same dream over and over again. Just like Liv and Luke, as twins, we both shared the same dream. Father made us kill each other every single time. When we didn't, he killed us."

Josette paused before she tried to change the confused expression on Henrique's face. "You were there in all our dreams, watching us get killed by Father. It was so strange when somehow, all of us were in the same scene in the dream."

"The tree and the nooses..." Henrique uttered, his voice almost like a whisper.

Kai chimed in. "We woke up the moment we died. You were still in there however. Tell us, Henrique, what happened then?"

Henrique sat down on the coffee table, trying to get his shit together as he responded. "I... When the three of us met Father last night, he told me to "unleash it", that I "looked just like her" and that I have to "reach my truest potential." It got even weirder when I saw a glowing orb in my dream. I was dreaming about the escape with Kai and Damon. The world was crumbling and this orb had escaped. At the end, after you guys were killed, Father killed himself. Before that, he told me that it's coming for me."
