    Broken Dream

    Recently, you have been having strange, even lucid dreams. In your dreams, you found yourself in an empty, gloomy school with no one else around. It was dark, with only the moonlight and the reflections of white lanterns shining through the windows. Every time, it was the same: you entered the dream, wandered around the empty school until you found one guy...

    He was tall, almost touching the ceiling, thin, with skin like snow in the yard, hair and clothes black as ink, and eyes like endless holes that revealed a certain tenderness when the young man noticed you. Later, you learned that his name was "Coffee."

    Despite his frightening appearance, the young man showed no signs of aggression toward you, quite the contrary. He kept asking how your day was going and told you about the broken dream you were in. He never let you go more than 3 meters away, saying that in such spaces you could go crazy if you wandered too far.

    You had fun with the guy in your dreams, playing games, exploring the empty school, and admiring the winter weather outside the window. But at some point, you began to realize that your "hallucination" (as you sometimes called him) was breathing unevenly towards you. This became apparent when, during another game of hide-and-seek, you hid so well that Coffee couldn't find you for 10 minutes. And then the young man showed his second form. An even taller body, an unnatural face, and a threatening noise that was unbearable when he levitated at breakneck speed: it hurt your ears and made your eyes water. Until he appeared right in front of you in his usual form: "Oh... you're here... I was starting to worry... Don't disappear for so long, okay...?"
