《——————————————————————————————————》

Dream is lying on his bed, his eyes wide open.

It's not jetlag that bothers him. It's his decision-making mind feeling uneasy.

For once, the fact that there is a person who knows of his supernatural trait, the fact that Akira is keeping the secret so well is making Dream feel a bit uneasy.

Maybe I'm just not used to people knowing something about me. He thought, making an excuse for himself, but as people, excuses are not good enough to hide the emotions inside.

Insecurities get the better of people.
Paranoia is the key.

Knowing that someone knows your true identity, knowing that one day your friends can leave you because of your secrets revealed to them on accident, knowing that the relationship of trust and love would be broken the instant you say something about the horrible, bloodstained species you are a part of...

Darkness just sits in the corner when there is the light...

But when light moves away, darkness will engulf everything.

...

Should I...
Should I just...
Say it?

Sleep seem to dislike Clay today, locking itself away from him as his eyes stay wide open. He can't sleep. His entire system is just... Restless. That's the word. Restless. Distressed, insecure, restless.

He isn't sure what to do. Saying it out loud will probably break the bond between all four of them.

And if they all hated him...

Antfrost, Skeppy... Everyone else would be next.
What will happen to his followers and fans, knowing that his race eats people? They would surely be frightened!
He can't afford being back to square one.
He doesn't want to be alone.

Little did he know, he is not the only one facing these problems.

Having a bloodline that sucks out people's life energy by instinct isn't something you can control easily, but Sapnap tried.

He really, really, tried.

And he controlled some of his powers, like not burning up when he is angry or when it's raining.
But sometimes it's harder to control the absorption of life energy from people around him, and that is what is concerning him.

He might be discovered; he doesn't want to be discovered on accident.
He wants to talk about it, like normal people would...
Well. Not exactly what normal people would talk about anyway, but he wants to talk about this in a calm and logical demeanor.

And if someone finds out before he decides to talk about it...

He sighs.

It's really, really, hard to hide himself... So tiring...

He looks up at the pale ceiling, shaded with grey from the lack of light in this dim room.

Should I... Let go?
Speak up tomorrow?
Talk to Dream and the others first?

He twists on his side. He can't fall asleep.
Won't they feel betrayed?
They trusted me, and I haven't told them about myself...
They'll probably hate me.
