Later that night, Briar and the others decide to sleep in one room tonight, to keep Grim company and stick together after the incident they've gone through.
Grim is still sleeping in bed, "Zzz.. place... Zzz... Zzz... Got 'em... Guess who got first place... Zzz..."
Briar soon wakes up in her sleep and looks to see everyone is fast asleep.
Briar says in her thoughts, "Gaming with everyone was so much fun. I'm so glad that we were able to get back home."
She then sighs, "But still, I still have a long road ahead of me. Now that I remember a lot about my past and decide to live by this decision, I'll have to work extra hard to live in this world. The world that I used to have before appearing on Earth."
Briar then turns off the device Vil gives to them, and places to go back to sleep. But then, she notices the mirror.
"I should let Mickey know that Grim's back. It has been so hectic the past few weeks that I've never been able to tell the others about Mickey," Briar says.
Suddenly, the mirror begins to glow. Briar gasps in shock and realizes Mickey must be there now.
"Mickey?" Briar questions.
Suddenly, she hears his voice now, "..lo? Hellooo? Briar, are you there?"
Hearing his voice, Briar climbs out of bed and rushes to the mirror. Briar takes a close look in the mirror and soon sees knocking.
"Mickey," Briar says.
Soon enough, Mickey appears in the mirror.
"Ah, there you are, Briar! Finally!" Mickey says. "I haven't seen you since you went looking for your roommate. I was worried, you know. Did you find your friend?"
"Yes, I did," Briar says.
"Oh, goodie!" Mickey says.
"Yes. My friends and I had had it difficult in the past few weeks, but we're all back safe and sound," Briar says.
Briar then has an idea and turns to the others who are still asleep.
Grim continues talking in his sleep, "Zzz... Which one of you losers...threw that item at me... Zzz..."
Briar gently picks up Grim as she gently shakes him, "Grim, wake up. Wake up, sleepyhead."
Soon, Grim wakes up, "Mrf... Man, it was just gettin' good. Mrah?!" and Grim yelps, "Mrow, what's goin' on?! Are those armored jerks back?!"
"No Grim, I want to introduce you to someone," Briar says.
"Oh really, who?" Grim questions.
Briar walks to the mirror and says, "Look Grim, it's Mickey! He's in the mirror!"
"Mickey? In the minor? What're you talkin' about, Briar?" Grim asks. And says, exhausted, "No one's there. You're prolly still half asleep. Maaan. I was just about to beat Idia and Ortho in a race... I'mma go back to sleep and finish that race..." And soon, Grim begins to fall back to sleep, "Mrf... Zzz..."
Confused, Briar says in thought, "Huh? Grim doesn't see Mickey?"
Briar then decides to place Grim back in bed and tucks him in.
Suddenly, she hears Mickey's voice again, "Briar? Is someone else there? Is it your roommate?"
Briar walks to the mirror, "Um yes. It is...." and still unsure.
Then Mickey says, "There's always a bunch of fog around you, so I can't see anything but you... Can you see anything on my end? There's a moving chair here, an ottoman that acts like a dog, and a table with a walnut cracker on it. Do you see any of that?"
"No. I don't really see anything," Briar says.
"Hmm, that's strange. A shame, too," Mickey replies.
He then smiles, "It woulda been mighty nice if I could make even more friends in my dreams."
But then, Mickey remembers something, "Ooh, speaking of friends! While you were out, I saw a stranger in my dream room. It was a boy with silver hair. His eyes were the most unique color. But he left so fast, I couldn't get his name... Boy, did that surprise me! I've never had a visitor here before. It'd be swell if you could come and visit too, Briar."
Suddenly, the alarm goes off.
"Whuh-oh! That means it's time for me to wake up," Mickey says, "See...again... Briar..."
Soon enough, Mickey disappears without another word.
Briar begins to think about it, "This is very strange. How come I'm the only one who can see Mickey? And about everything else that has happened since I've got here, including my past. I wonder, could there be a dream world through the mirror...? If so... would I see him for real... maybe someday..."
Briar then returns to bed, tucks herself in, and falls asleep for the night.
