- Chikyu’s POV -

[We break the normal cycle of POV change, sorry]

That Moron had to come in. UGH. he left and I jumped on my bed.

A knock came to the door, “Can you unlock the door, ma said I had to go to bed.” Maze said from the other side.

“Ugh sure, but don’t let Zen in, I’m triggered” I growl

“..He went to his pod.” she says walking in after I unlock the door, walking towards her bed.

“Want some candy? I have sour candy and chocolate” I say, holding the bag up, going back to my bed

“Sure!” Maze says

“Here,” I say, handing her random pieces of candy

“Thanks!” she said eating some chocolate.

“Yoku irashimas ” I say

“Question.” She says

“Ya...” I say, yawning.

“Did you hit Zen?” She asks

“Ya” I say.

“Well that explains why he had that expression.” she says.

“You didn’t hear the very loud slapping sound?” I ask, “What expression though?”

“...He can read your memories right, maybe he saw something bad? He looked kinda sad and horrified.” She said.

“Oh ya, my parents deaths, I was the last one on the Japan ship and had to watch them die, terrifying experience, especially being four….” I say, not liking talking about my parents

“I don't think he's ever seen anyone die, so.. I'm sorry about your parents.” she said putting the candy in a drawer.

“I’m fine now, it was a long time ago, though I still have nightmares sometimes.” I say, honestly

“Well, Oyasumi nasai.” She said turning off her lamp.

“Oyasumi.” I say rolling to my side and falling asleep.

[Dream]

I was on the ship as usual, my parents burning but.. They weren't screaming they were smiling. I looked around, no one was on the ship with me and when I turned back around I saw a charred planet, bits and pieces scattered around.

Someone tapped my shoulder, I turned around, nobody was there.

I woke up, Zen was sitting beside me, light blue almost invisible mist surrounding his hands.

“Why are you in here?” I ask.

“..Oh your awake, Sorry about earlier..” Zen said mist disappearing.

“What were you doing?” I ask.

“...Just helping out a bit.” he said yawning.

“How long have you been here?” i ask sitting up.

“All night, the magic wouldn't work if i wasn't so close.” he said, “It wouldn't work if I was asleep either.”

“So you've been up all night? And what magic?” I ask.

“Dream magic, decided maybe i can help you a little with your night terrors, didn't work to well though sorry..” He said half asleep.

“Go to bed, you're falling asleep in the chai- wait how did the chair get here?” I ask
