Alice blinked her eyes.
Having stepped through the door, she wasn't jolted awake from the Nightmare. Instead, it was more of a natural awakening without any headaches.
Looking around her, Alice could see that Elias was still sleeping while the machine was hooked onto his body.
There was no reaction from Alyss or Cayla either.
'Seems like I exited earlier than when the Nightmare will end.'
Glancing up at the sky, she paused upon seeing the ominous crimson moon hanging above.
That moon wasn't the only thing that was strange, though.
Mixed in with the strands of energy that Alice usually sees within their realm, there was something else.
Strange strands that seemed to fade in and out of existence, all flowing towards the moon.
'Is that the energy from the Nightmare Realm?'
Alice reached out but found herself unable to interact with that energy.
As for the source…
