Steven is finally able to sigh a breath of relief, at that, a gentle stream of bubbles coming from his mouth as he does. There's a long list of people he wants to ask about, but the fact that Yuya hasn't immediately rushed to tell him about more makes him feel a little bit more at ease.

Despite the fact that he's dreaming, he still feels so tired.

He looks back up to Yuya, trying to meet his eyes, to stay focused. He doesn't know if anything Yuya does here will really help him. All he needs is time.

"I know this seems really weird," he explains, as levelly as he can. "But... I can go into people's dreams, if we're sleeping at the same time. This is really me. When you wake up... remember that, okay?"

His ears fold down, a look of helplessness coming across his face.

"I don't think I can fight her. But... I tried. I'm sorry."
