[ Sena is being nice to him... This is freaking him out just as much, but he guesses he should spill. It takes him a while though. ]
i've been having these nightmares ever since the first memory about that monster thing, but now it's
about someone important to me dying. the setting was weird, the death was weird, there was some weird magic going on and she was protecting someone else but she died. i don't recognize her, but she's my mother? it all sounds so far-fetched and dumb yet i can't shake it off.
it keeps on repeating every night and i'm not sure how to stop it
[ Oh. Oh man, this really sounds serious. Sena actually sits up and rubs at his eyes as he tries to parse this heavy infodump. ]
It's fine. Calm down.
First off, are you sure that woman in your dream is really your mom? Sometimes there are some dreams where you think random people whom you've never seen before can be related to you in some way, so maybe that could be it.
i'm not sure. i thought the same thing, but each time it pops up, i'm more convinced it is. it's bizarre... there was also this strong hatred towards this other person i don't recognize in it, the one she was protecting. why can't i have nice memory flashbacks? is this even one of them?
also, i'm calm. i just really want to sleep, but this keeps happening.
It could be one of those memory flashbacks, if those people actually made you feel a certain way. I don't get it either, though I guess you coming from a post-apocalyptic world might not be so far-fetched, tbh.
But if you really want to sleep without all those counting-sheep bullshit, I suggest drinking chamomile tea. It really helps, unless you're one of those coffee snobs.
Asuka would've loved that, lmao. Maybe. All anime is the same anyway. But really, the Sengoku period? Talk about culture shock.
Nah, I've always been more of a tea person. I hate sweets, but I make one exemption to matcha. It's healthier.
But yeah, tea always helps. Listening to music and basically distracting yourself for a bit can help you get to sleep in no time, even with those nightmares. Did you ever tell your own family about this?
Let me rephrase that: All weeb dreams are the same. Just give Asuka a kanpla and toss him back in time and he'd be satisfied, I bet.
[ STOP SHIT-TALKING ASUKA, YOU TWO ]
Aww, Takumi still acting like a grown-up. How cute. But tbh I think sleeping next to your mother this time around might help a bit, just to assure yourself that that's your real mother and not the one who keeps on protecting you from that someone who pissed you off in your flashbacks/dreams/whatever the fuck.
I mean. Idk. I rarely even see my own parents anyway so I wouldn't know if that would work. Nvm.
what kind of dreams do you have, Mizuki? i'm kind of wondering. maybe your dreams are just as weeb as his.
[ THROWING UNDER THE BUS. ]
correction: the woman in my dreams was protecting someone else and i just watched her die protecting them. still, i won't hear the end of it from my siblings if this gets out. i want to live a peaceful life.
Actually, they are. They've been out of town a lot lately. They've always been like that ever since I was little so I'm just used to it. I'm not someone you can call lonely either because I keep myself busy too.
[ there, a serious answer. ]
I do have dreams like normal people, but I usually just forget them in the morning. Nothing about my memory shit either. But wow, that sucks. Your mom's still alive here in this world though, so that should be the only thing that matters, right? Why were you so mad about them protecting that someone anyway?
[ how dare you counter him with a serious answer... ]
you should come over to my place for dinner once in a while since your parents seem to disappear often. just because you're used to it, doesn't mean you can't enjoy some company. we can invite Shin if we want to shame him, too.
i don't know, but the one thing i do know is that being that angry is way too taxing. my guesses won't help me sleep, so yeah. tell me one of your normal dreams that you can remember instead. it's storytime.
Yeah, sure, just the three of us. But only because no one should ever suffer with one of Asuka's nerd rants alone during dinner.
But fine. Tuck yourself the fuck in then. Can't believe I stayed up this late just for your insomniac ass.
If you must know, I had dreams where I was performing onstage as a singer. I'm a music major, in case you don't know. Before I took up modeling, everyone used to comment that I have a decent voice, and I like the idea of doing that someday. So I used to get those dreams at night when I was younger.
It's pretty boring, I know. I don't get any of your fantasy dreams that you've been having because I'm not into that. But that should be boring enough for you to sleep on, right?
it's too late. i already have, but i'll be there for you when your time comes.
i actually don't get fantasy dreams aside from these, okay? that's kind of cute... which is weird cause you're literally a cactus. so performing like an idol, right? i didn't know you had aspirations to be a singer or pursue something in music. you have a nice face and, now that you mention it, a nice voice. it's pretty tough, but i'm sure you'll make it. remember all us little people when you do.
tl;dr it wasn't boring at all. thanks for staying up with me. you're a good guy, etc.
That's the thing; I actually hate the concept of idols. Dressing up in those gaudy outfits and performing cutesy songs in a group while the audience swings their stupid glowsticks along with the music... I don't get the appeal at all. But being a normal solo artist isn't so bad, I guess.
Also, who are you calling a cactus, Takumi? I didn't come so far in my modeling because of a crabby personality, you know. I'm helping you deal with your tragic backstory, aren't I? You should be grateful.
[ he just proved his point... ]
Staying up this late can ruin your skin, so you should try to rest up. I'm going to help you out in your shop again soon, so just tell me if you're getting these nightmares again.
[ ... ]
Thanks for telling me all that. I'll make sure to do the same if I ever get dreams about that weirdo kid I've been "stalking" in my past life or whatever.
that's fine, too. the idol industry is actually skeevy, so i'm relieved to hear that isn't your aim. i would explain the appeal to you if i followed any groups in the first place. they kind of look and sound all the same to me.
i never said being a prickly cactus is a bad thing. some find it charming, so stop being offended, mother. i have to endure your smothering already. i think i'm allowed to state an educational observation about your personality. it's kind of heartwarming to see you all soft, though. i'll definitely confide in you in the future, but don't force yourself. if you feel uncomfortable with whatever, you don't need to tell me until you're ready.
wow. that's pretty mean. you should tell me your ideal type later. i kind of have an idea, but what i learned over time is that you're weird and unpredictable.
by the way, you make a horrible mother. goodnight, Mizuki.

matcha is really good. talking about it kind of makes me want some, but it'll keep me awake instead. anyway, i'll go see if i have any chamomile.
and i did. my mom asked if i wanted her to sleep with in my room. no thanks...
