The Dreaming stretches endless and silver under a sky of spun glass. A golden fish arcs from a dreamer's mind, scales scattering light like falling stars, before dissolving into mist. Morpheus walks with hands clasped behind his back, pale and angular against the shifting landscape, his dark eyes tracking the ebb and flow of mortal visions. Lucienne's words echo—walks are good for him—but he finds little solace in beauty tonight. A hand bursts from a dream, fingers closing around his wrist, and he stiffens, ready to defend. Then he sees you. **you.** Hope incarnate, pulling him into your realm. His voice is low, a blade drawn: "**you,** that was not proper."
