And I feel fine

[doomsdisco]

[That's strange. You could've sworn you were alone, but you're getting that distinct tingling feeling that someone is nearby.

After a double take or two you finally spot the culprit: a little girl, looking up at you with a soft smile.]

If the world were to end in six days, what would you like to do?

Are you familiar with dreamland?

[doomsdisco]

I'm afraid I don't dream, so no, I'm not.

[princeindream]

So do I. But that is not the problem.

You say people will die within a week. And dream is created by people.

What will happen to dreamland if they're gone?

[doomsdisco]

If there is no one left to dream, I suppose dreamland will disappear as well.

[princeindream]

What will happen to you? You will 'die' as well?

[doomsdisco]

Yes, I will. I'll be dying down here.

[princeindream]

Such a cruelty. Why would you die? You are the god's messenger.

[doomsdisco]

As long as I can bring people happiness in the time I've been given, I don't mind. It's what I'm meant to do, and what I want to do.

[princeindream]

Miss, I can prove you wrong. You will live longer than you thought. I need time.

[doomsdisco]

[She scrunches her face in confusion.]

What do you mean?

[princeindream]

I won't allow a lady carrying such a heavy burden to tell everyone that the end is near. I can see you're smiling and try to calm down. But you're still sad that this will happen.

[doomsdisco]

Mm, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad. So many are panicking because of all this, and it saddens me to see them that way. But that's why I'm doing what I'm doing. I want to make sure they don't leave this world mourning missed opportunities.

If I can do that, I'll be happy.

[princeindream]

I believe you can expel the worry of the people. While you're on that, I'll be working on stopping the matter. Have them to pray or whatever you can, just do your job.

And have faith on me.

[doomsdisco]

[She still wants to tell him that there's no use, he should be with people while he has this last chance instead of trying to stop the inevitable. And it isn't at all in her nature to lie, even for the sake of someone's happiness; to say that she'll believe in him and his efforts. In truth, it saddened her even further.

But she recognized that if she said this, they'd only be right back where they started. For now, she'll let it go.]

I'll do my best.
