He sent my sisters. I'm.. supposed to stay by his side, it's.. through me, that I can connect to the shared conscious, and share the reports from my sisters.
he nods slowly, he's not sure what terminal means, but the rest...]
I get it, kind of. I was connected to a lot of people before I woke up here, but now... I can't even feel them.

[the forest is dim, and you're standing in front of a tree. it's massive, you'd need at least six people holding hands to circle even half of its trunk. but most importantly, the orbs in its branches are softly pulsating, and big enough for a human to fit inside.
when you look closely, you see that there are humans. dreamers, sleeping. their eyes are closed and they all have faint smiles on their faces. you walk on, checking on each one. you see if they're in any danger, you lean in and tweak the dreams they're having.
on and on, you walk through the forest. everyone's having a wonderful dream tonight, all thanks to you. the twilight never breaks, the forest remains eerie, but your heart is relaxed and light -- thanks to this world that you've made.]
Meteion looks puzzled by it, but pretty curious. the feelings of their heart, his heart, relaxed and light.. don't cause any alarm in her, so she seems pretty calm despite the memory happening. ]

...So you're connected to them through your empathy? Or is that a separate special ability?
no subject
That's.. probably it? All I know is, I'm the one that serves as a...terminal.
[ she says it with a pause, as if it's a word she isn't used to saying? but a word she is aware of. ]
I was connected to them, before I got here but.. while here, I haven't heard from them.

..What was that? [ she tilts her head. ]

Those were the people I was connected to -- my dreamers.
[it feels weird to see it from this point of view]
I used my power to give dreams to people... And I watched over them while they slept.
no subject
Dreamers.. [ huh. her head tilts again, like a bird. ]
What about, when they're not sleeping?
no subject
...Sometimes they don't want to though. A lot of people prefer dreams to reality.
