A SHARED DREAM THING
In the fleeting moment between waking and sleeping, there's a flash of pale blue light, bright enough to leave an impression and brief enough to leave you wondering if you saw it at all. You wake with the distinct feeling that you are forgetting something and pause at the nearest window on the way out your room. There's full view of Nanakamado from here - not the school, but the entire fortress. The crystalline structure at the center reaches up and pierces the clouds as always, refracting light on to them for an almost heavenly glow. You glance at the clock, next, and you are overwhelmed with real, palpable fear at the realization that you're already late for class.

The rest blurs, and you're back in your bed again, just coming to.
