[he nods, though his voice gets more somber as he continues.]
Right before I came here... My kingdom was destroyed by a threat that I didn't take seriously enough beforehand. Everyone who lived there was killed apart from me.
I - I don't know exactly how the monster that took them works. Some people here have wondered if everyone might come up once it's defeated. I won't know until I find a way to stop it, but - it's something to hope for, at least.
There's always hope. If not that they'll come back, then... At least that I can stop this from happening other people's homes or families. The thing that took them - the only thing that motivates it is pain and fear. If it isn't stopped, it'll destroy the rest of the world like this.
[he takes a breath.]
But - the dream, right. Um, all of them... All the people who are gone, they reappeared, but as skeletal versions of themselves who just wanted to attack me for failing to save them.
I was traveling through a forest I recognized to find Amir. Every time, I'd just get far enough to find those figures, but I never saw him, and when they were done attacking me... It'd just start over. I'd be at the start of the forest again, and it just replayed until I woke up in the coffin.
Maybe it's possible to combine the meanings of flowers. For example, Mikazuki's dogbane and mirabilis together could form a warning of "false dreams"...

So... there's some hope, then?
I'm sorry, Rupert... That's such a horrible thing to go through.

S, so it was a nightmare...

I really don't know what kind of greater meaning a dream like that could have, if it really had one...
[It just seems kind of cruel and painful?]

... Or am I overthinking things?
