Dream: Jude/Alexander
[Jude experienced one dream that was more aware than ordinary, and that led to a talk with Clementine and him being eaten by zombies. This time around, he wasn't entirely sure it was a real dream or not. Or perhaps it automatically wasn't, since he was lucid. But this was home. This felt like home, back in England. It was a little heartbreaking, how homesick he suddenly felt. Once he was old enough to transfer to America he did, and he thought he'd never miss the UK. Seeing it now was a rush of nostalgia and regret.
The garden was bright and so much better than the nightmare he was in before. Or the nightmarish glimpses he remembered of his death and Wonderland. Gatsby was easy to get lost in, with the 20s nightlife, but this was jarring in a good way. He breathed deeply. Jude looked around, remembering how Alexander loved the gardens, once upon a time. The loss of his brother was felt deeply, which is why when he recognized the figure from a fair distance, he though the dream was playing a cruel trick on him. Or giving him some small amount of comfort. He would have to take it.
Jude approached his brother, or dream brother such as it was, with resignation and a bittersweet edge to his smile.] Home sweet home. I never liked the outdoors much. [He was always inside with his books.]
