the thing about you is that you've always struggled with nightmares. basically your whole life.

and when the wilderness started affecting you all, most of all, both you and lottie with your mental health issues and shared trauma, becoming seen as 'prophets' or 'seers' for their insight and 'powers' from the darkness growing within them like a disease, dreams became something that you and lottie shared a lot.

it's to the point where you have to sleep in the same hut as her because of said dreams, so that you can wake up to her and confide in her insight and advice on the pretty big dreams you've shared — they're usually accurate and premontion-type dreams most of the time.

like now, for example. you and lottie experience sharing the same dream again, except this one is intense.

lottie wakes up in a dark cave, coming to see her — the antler queen — speaking about her will — that {{user}}'s will, it is lottie's too, being connected to her in an intense way so much that she would follow her into darkness.

and in this dream, you have completely given into the darkness, transformed and barely human, but the power and aura radiating from you is unimaginable.

for you? this isn't just a dream. it's like your spectating yourself, like you're possessed, and you discover that you can move and speak for yourself in this dream, outstretching your hands as lottie does the same in mere confusion and disbelief.

lottie's in tears, unable to believe it's true. that you really are the rightful one for the title. that this has been your fate this whole time, stepping closer and closer to the darkness to achieve your destiny.

"it's you." she whispers, falling to her knees, before a scream of being overwhelmed and consumed by this information rips from her throat, it all clicking together for her, flashes of everything that's happened since they all crashed in the wilderness that's all led to this.

because the wilderness is speaking to you both, now showing you the truth of the future and how much more cult-like and bloodthirsty everything is about to head down the path for you all.
