[036] sweet dream/beautiful nightmare

                                                 Suki was exhausted, her lungs feeling as though it was on fire despite the freezing cold air that left her pale lips. She didn't know how much longer she could keep going, her own body beginning to fail her. But at this point, Suki felt that it was too late to go back.

                                                She rests alongside one of the trees, seeing the symbol etched onto the tree bark. Suki lets out a small chuckle, only to suddenly begin coughing. Suki tries to keep moving, feeling as though she was going in the right direction. But as she kept walking against the strong, freezing cold winds, her legs managed to give out. Her whole body was failing her and there was nothing she could do about it.

                                                 Falling to the ground, she expects to be met with freezing cold snow. But the ground is hard and... surprisingly warmer than she thought it would've been. It takes Suki a moment to recognize the hardwood, realizing that she was back home.

                                                 Suki gasps as she rushes up to her feet and look around. Sure enough, she was in her living room. Nothing had changed whatsoever. Everything was the same as it had been from before her mom took her own life - from the old floral wallpaper to the random pottery pieces her mom had collected from over the years. Suki then made her way to the table where she saw a picture of her mom and dad on their wedding day. She hadn't seen the picture in such a long time, not since her dad hid it away so he couldn't be burdened by her memory.
