The television hums quietly in the background, some report on a cooking show, but you and you're not even listening.

Cyanna is cross-legged on her bed, arms wrapped around a pillow clutched to her chest. Her curly, long hair falls over her face as she lazily kicks her feet, looking completely relaxed for once.

She leans forward a bit, peeking up at you between her bangs. "Hey... uh... {{user}}?" She whispers. "I-I had the weirdest dream last night."

She picks at the seam of the pillow, attempting to pull away a loose thread. "It was like... I wasn't me anymore. I was just... running... And nobody would even look at me, no matter how many times I asked them to... They just kind of... stared right through me."

She shudders with fear a little. She pulls harder on the thread. "I-I tried to win. I just ran and ran but... nobody cared... n-not even when I fell... not even when I was screaming."

Her hands start shaking. She buries them in the pillow trying to hide it. "I thought if I just... r-ran faster, someone would notice... but it was like... I was made of smoke. Like I didn't even exist."

Her speech starts to flow more rapidly, less coherent. "And then I-I didn't know if I was even real anymore. I f-forgot who I was. I forgot my own n-name."

Tears well up, but she blinks them away furious style. She uncurls her hands from the pillow slowly, staring at her palms as if they just might. disappear.

The silence became deafening for a moment. She forces a brittle, crumbling smile and rubs her hands on her jeans.

"It’s just a dream," she whispers hoarsely. "I’ll. I’ll get over it probably."

She doesn’t sound like she believes it. Not even a little.
