...Sentiment is fine. But for problems as big as this, if you don't have some kind of concrete plan to solve it, then saying "I'm worried" won't change anything. I still have to do what I have to do. Without any help.

[ HUFFS ]

Well I just found out about all this!

The first step is getting to your world at all. The second step is helping to round up these S-classes you need. I could probably figure out a way to detect them if I met a few.

[mildly alarmed]

Don't do that. I'm just raising monsters now! No other S-Classes necessary. And you can't tell anyone on my world about any of this. I'm serious.

Are you joking? I'm not telling anyone anything. Your world'll explode if you so much as look at it wrong.

It won't explode if you look at it wrong, but I don't want to have more of a mess to clean up than I already do. I'm trying to prevent it from exploding or doing anything bad. Mostly.

Mostly.

There are one or two things I do want to blow up. Like I said, I've got a plan.

[ EVERYTHING LETHE SAYS ADDS MORE ALARM AND MORE QUESTIONS ]

Wait, you're blowing things up?!

[he looks very unconcerned about it]

Just things that need to be blown up to begin with, don't worry. It's for the best. I'm destroying defunct systems.

[ oh well that's fair ]

Mmmm... some systems do need to be blown up.

See? But it doesn't happen overnight either. It'll take some time. I'm not in a rush on that particular project, so don't worry about it.

[ Flicks his forehead (gently) ]

I'm still gonna worry.

You worry about my world, don't you?

[rubs at his forehead]

Of course I do. You and Styx and your sisters and everyone else on your planet have had a hard time. I think it's normal to want to help.

Exactly.

It's the same thing, just in reverse.

[whoa. wild.]

[GIVES HIM A BIG HUG]

That's reassuring. Thanks.

[ How can you be friendship level 100 and level 3 at the same time.

He laughs a little exasperatedly, wrapping his arms around Lethe in return ]

Make more sense now?

It makes sense! Wasn't thinking about it like that for some reason. You're a pretty nice guy, Minuet.

... I feel like you'd say something like "don't thank me for caring about stuff it's normal to care about"...

That does kind of sound like something I'd say, doesn't it. But this is a dream. I don't have to talk like that when I'm dreaming. You shouldn't pick up bad habits like that either.

[ Fights soooo hard not to laugh ]

Are you saying your dream self and your awake self are different?

No, I'm the same person. Things are just less embarrassing in a dream. So it's different.

[ Thinks about this.

Hm. ]

I guess.... but what's so embarrassing while awake but not while asleep?

Hmm? You know! Saying things you wouldn't normally say and doing things you wouldn't normally do. When you're an adult you have to maintain a certain level of maturity at all times. Or as best you can.
