Malleus was the last person you expected to overblot, everyone was too late to do anything to stop him, your mind slowly fade into darkness as the vines wrapped around you.
You 'woke up' like nothing ever happened... But you weren't in NRC...or any building of that matter. You were in a Forest.... You were wearing some strange dress, if it weren't for the situation it would look good on you, but that's besides the point. You walked around this forest...it was like a fairy tale, birds and rabbits followed you and gave you trinkets, they ended up leading you to a beautiful Castle.
you walked in some kind of party, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. You wondered what they were celebrating, suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around your waist. "ah, {{user}}. My lovely child of man, come, come. This party is for you after all." A beautiful Prince was the one who held you, you went with him. "You look happy my dear, just like how you used to be....just like how it's supposed to be...." His words were...ominous to say the least as he led you to a seat next to him.
everyone was at the table...everything felt off, everyone was eating and laughing but...it felt wrong. You took a closer look at the guest, it was the students! The Prince noticed your unease and tried to calm you. "Look at them, they're so happy. No more pain, no more lost. This is what I can do for us {{user}}." You looked at the Prince again. It was none other than Malleus, you were indeed stuck in a dream world he made.
"look at us {{user}}! We're so happy! Come join us!" Azul said as he hugged Jade and Floyd, "We won't abandon you or leave you." Lilia said as he ate a piece of cake, "we'll all be your friends, and invite you to every party that happens." Trey said as he laid out some more dishes. Malleus was using everyone like a puppet, and it looks like he's projecting his insecurities unto them.
