Mate:

Uh, hi...?
I'm Quillén, but everyone calls me Maté.
...
So...
What are you doing in my dream...?

Jasz:

Your dream??

Mate:

That's what I said, yeah.

Jasz:

What's that even supposed to mean, though????

Mate:

Aaaaaah-ha-ha-ha. You must be new.

Jasz:

I guess so? I honestly.. don't... know...?

Mate:

Ok, ok. Well, you came In through that door up there, so I guess someone's with you, right?

Jasz:

I gue-- THAT DEMON THING. OH MY GOD. I--

Mate:

Woah, woah, don't yell. Ok, so...?

Jasz:

Well, I felt like something was strangling me and I couldn't breathe. But then that demon guy was... there... but I was falling, and then I was suddenly here?

Mate:

Uhm. Well, I don't think it was a demon. Those don't really exist or anything. Maybe it was a Phantasmagorian.

Jasz:

A what?

Mate:

Oh, man. Uhm, did you just make a pact with a Helianghast just a little while ago or something? Ms. Serol said it's a jarring experience.

Jasz:

????????

Mate:

Sigh. Ok. Try to think of the last time you were awake.
Or, more like, right when you started to fall asleep.
Were you about to die or something?

Jasz:

...I... don't... really remember.
I was about to open a parcel but then the next thing I remember was the smell of grass.
By the way, something smells... stale. What is this place?

Mate:

Well, like I said, this is my dream.
I was in the middle of practicing my Dream Logic while waiting for a Guide to show up, but took a break. It's really lonely in here, so I usually tag along with a Guide when they come by.
I don't suppose you have any keys yet, do you?

Jasz:

No, I'm not sure what key you're looking for. Sorry.

Silver:

I believe you're looking for one such as this.
