Daichi goes to sleep and wakes up in the middle of Knowhere. Well, at least he thought he woke up. Now all he has to do is get out alive, but not without being attacked by a few nightmares first.

Time Master A/N:
Futakuchi Kenji has pretty much everything any Limit striving for success wishes for: money, intelligence, good looks (well, he thinks he is average in his opinion), and of course, admission to one of the most prestigious universities in Japan as a pre-law major. With all of his success, Futakuchi thought he would feel happy, but he has never felt more alone in his life. His goal was to become a human rights lawyer to look out for those who would be taken advantage of. Sadly, it turns out the people he is striving to protect want nothing to do with him or his misunderstandings of them. Just when Futakuchi thought he could use his affluence to help those around him, they begin to cut him off—feeling he will never know what it is like to skip meals, lack housing, and long for daily necessities he has had an abundance of all his life.

After his newfound apathy settles in from feeling alienated, he discovers a Dream Catcher, 6AM, who seems to be as emotionless as he has become—and for some reason keeps referring to him as Limit 323. Futakuchi, not wanting to be deemed insane from seeing an odd entity, shuts himself off from talking to anyone, especially 6AM. 6AM becomes confused and feels that it was something on his part that made Limit 323 uncomfortable. They seek out 9AM, who they often go dream fishing (the art of collecting warm, golden bubble dreams in Dawn Palace) with in Knowhere, to explain more about what the "emotions" "apathy" and "sadness" are.
When 6AM makes an effort to learn about what is causing Limit 323's pain, Futakuchi begins to discover the qualities that make 6AM and finally accepts its presence –even if they do look indifferent, it's just them. Now that Futakuchi's finally made a friend he feels a lot of weight come off of his shoulders. As his situation begins to look up, Futakuchi believes his life has turned around when one night he was invited to his first college party by those who previously scorned him. Unfortunately, the invitation was a trap by his fellow elites who felt he was giving too much money to "the lower society". They jump him and he is sent into a coma.

Futakuchi falls into Dawn Palace's garden, specifically in a koi fish pond, and does not remember 6AM at all. 6AM helps Limit 323 discover their friendship step by step with the help of 9AM and dream fishing as they begin anew. 6AM even uses tips from 9AM to help Futakuchi form friendships on his own, but ends up creating a deeper bond that confuses them both. After 6AM realizes they have to let go of Limit 323 to protect them from their countdown, 6AM leaves Futakuchi with a lesson of "empathy" that will hopefully help his future goals. As Futakuchi is set back in the world of Limits, he gains the strength to work again and feels a familiar presence guiding his way.
