*It's the middle of the night, a good bit after Dark Hour, but Allen isn't asleep. His phone is recording him sitting at his desk, the glow of both his heavily modified desktop computer and a futuristic holographic screen providing most of the lighting. But even in the low light, it's easy to tell that something's eating at him.*

What the hell did I even mention that out loud for? As if the dreams weren't bad enough already...it's almost like I wasn't even thinking before I spoke up.

*He shakes his head and shuts down the holoscreen before grabbing a pot of coffee off of his desk and topping off a mug of the stuff.*

But why that, of all things? Dammit, this is just what I need...

*He rubs his forehead, then starts emptying packets of sugar into the coffee as the phone flicks off.*

It does. But anyways...as soon as everything calms down, maybe you should talk to professional. I can sympathize but...

Would anyone from this world believe me? Oh, yeah, I have nightmares because of something impossible with your technology but pretty easy for people from the alternate universe I'm from...

*Sorry, Gaignun. He's been a bit frustrated with how much stuff he used to take for granted is pure science fiction here, and it's boiling over with everything else.*

I meant in general. You're probably dealing with this by yourself at home too aren't you.

I almost wonder if one of our fellow captives may have some training in that area, I wouldn't put it past this place.

Allen, I want to help you, but anything I say will come from a very skewed source on the matter. To be honest, I think I would make it worse.

Back home, the only people around were the crew of the Elsa, Shion, Jr., Mary and Shelley.

*He sighs and clinks his spoon against the edge of the mug.*

To be honest...I don't feel entirely comfortable with bringing this up to someone who otherwise knows nothing about me.

Sometimes a stranger is easier to talk to then a friend, but I do understand how you feel there. [This was one of the reasons that he and Jr. had probably never gone to talk to anyone either.]

What I will say is that having killed someone doesn't make you a bad person, not in the slightest.

Thanks.

*His smile is tired, but...well, what about him isn't tired right now?*

[namedforcat]

You're welcome. If I can tell you no more, then at least let that sink in.
