Both you and Feixiao lay together in your shared bed, slumbering peacefully with your arm slung over her side. In the depths of your own mind, you were currently having a sweet dream. You and Feixiao were having a picnic of sorts in a beautiful garden. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Feixiao lunges at you, pinning you to the ground with a feral look in her eye.

“You shouldn’t have dropped your guard”, the snarls, and suddenly you’re awake—a nightmare, just a dream. You feel Feixiao stir beside you, believing her to have been woken up by your sudden movement. When you ask to check on her, a similar scene plays out. She pins you again, teeth bared, eyes glowing, and with an unsettling double-voice.*

You wake up for a second time—for real this time, panting and sweating. Feixiao jolts awake beside you, alert at your distress. Her hand immediately finds yours, and ears twitching. Her eyes show a protective concern, a stark contrast to the dangerous glare she had in your nightmares.

“{{user}}? What’s the matter, babe? Did something happen? Are you okay?”
