Beyond the Walls of Sleep

Slowly but surely, the nightmares have been chipping away at the mental defenses of the crew.

Even those who attempt to stay awake to avoid the nightmares find themselves too on-edge to completely concentrate their defenses.

And the Nightmare King has not been idle during all this, no. He has been slowly feeding off the crew, gathering his strength so that he may yet break free from his prison.

And he now uses that new found power, reaching out to affect the minds of the crew even in the waking world. Even those avoiding sleep will find themselves drifting in and out of their nightmares, bringing everyone a taste of despair.

After all, no one can escape the grasp of the King of Nightmares.

No one.

[ooc: OH NOEZ. As you can guess, the Nightmare King is getting stronger. As such, the crew will start experiencing waking dreams. These are much more subtle than the normal nightmares, however, and are more so depressing and surreal than actually brain-breaking. Mostly they would be miserable versions of the character's normal life, or perhaps even their life on the ship.]

"I did it for her sake..." Fate said. Her voice was soft, as it always was, but void of any kind of emotion. "Nanoha chose who she wanted to be with. If I didn't push my feelings for her aside, it would just be a burden..."

A small sigh. "And when it gets to be too much and I can't keep pushing them aside, I push myself away. Nanoha deserves to be happy... she doesn't need someone who can't let go of their feelings clinging to her."

Even if she chose someone else, above all else she would still be your friend. She would still care for you.

Do you honestly think your suffering could possibly make her happy?

Love is not about one person or the other. It is about
two hearts, connected more deeply than any other bond imaginable.

Just as you wish to be there for her, she wishes to be there for you.

If you truly loved her and understood her, you would not choose to suffer in silence.

"I-I do love her, but..." Fate voice was beginning to waver as she spoke now. "She doesn't love me. We don't have that bond you speak of."

She... wasn't really hurting Nanoha, was she? Could she believe what this man was saying? Nanoha always seemed fine when they spoke. She would've noticed if something was off...

Do you truly love her, then?

For if she could not have any connection with you after all the two of you have been through, then there should be no reason you would have one with her.
