[ He briefly thinks about her appearance, the name 'halovian', and wonders if an angel joke should be apt. But he doesn't, because he feels like it'd be a bit much and feels like low-hanging fruit as far as sayings go, and maybe she's heard it a thousand times before. ]
How radiant of you. Never met a brighter person, personally.
[ i have forgotten who all robin has told about penacony, but you can handwave that she's told him the basics of how penacony works as a dream world. ]
It is because dreams are never too far from me. [ when she isn't touring anyway. ] Because even in a world where you can enter dreams... I think you should want to wake up.
[ her whole life has been turned upside down because of dreams. ]
A dream should be distinguished from reality, but I also think you should be able to make some dreams a reality. They can be a reprieve, but it's sad if they're an escape.
It should not be the only way for someone to live.
My views might be skewed a bit, since I've recently had a pretty bad experience where dreaming was concerned. A shared dark premonition of unpleasant things to come, that sort of thing. I definitely wish that thing stayed distinct from reality... but I know that's not the type you mean.
...Somewhat as it sounds. When I first arrived in Prehevil, I saw a pretty awful dream.
Turned out to be not so much just a dream, once I learned all the other passengers on the train had the same one, and the man in said dream turned out to be the orchestrator for the nightmare we all experienced then.
trapped and trapped again is the feeling she gets from this. too tired and too trapped with the claws of grief that won't let go. the situation is worrying in a lot of ways. penacony is submerged in depression, but it's not that level of horror. ]
... You must be very tired of cults and sacrifices.

It's normal to feel fear following consequence. It's the matter of whether it was strong enough to change who you are.
no subject
If I help only those who are easiest to help, how much do I truly wish to help? My wish to help is only stronger for it.

I do want to be a light that can shine through even in a dream, but... somehow, it's a little embarrassing to hear someone else say it.
[ it's different than people describing her superstar status. that's what she's used to. ]

Through even in a dream... why does that ring a bell, again?
[ I feel like she's mentioned how Penacony works a little bit but my rl memory is not 100%. Everything happens so much. ]

[ a shared experience like that.... terrible. ]
How did you escape?
[ also lowe WHERE IS MY MEMORY ]
no subject
...I... don't. I'm sometimes not even sure I actually ever did, because I just... came here, instead.
[ Anyway it's kind of weird timing for it because it doesn't have to do with him 'escaping' the nightmare but she can have this memory. ]

Kinda putting it lightly, to be honest...
But yeah.

Not usually so extreme as to make multiple living sacrifices, but...
Well. It being so extreme is what's particularly outstanding about it to begin with, I suppose.

You don't have to answer, but your family.... were they also....?
