O.I: Both of you have gone through things the other can't understand, but that's not the point right now. Right now - at this immediate time- your lives and the lives of everyone else depend on you two being able to put this aside so you can escape. Neither of you is doing each other a 'favor', you are helping yourselves and those you care about. Is having the satisfaction of blaming each other worth your own deaths and that of others? If you want out, you'll have to help yourselves by working together.
Daydream: See?
Lucia: .........
Ira: Ms. Lucia, I felt the need to remain quiet, but now I must speak up...
Ira: You are behaving very irrational, I encourage you to pause and take a step back.
Lucia: ...........
Daydream: We all understand the gravity of the situation now?
Daydream: shit's fucked up and we all need to unfuck it.
O.I: ... I am going to make a statement that I feel needs context. 'Feel'. That is the crux of the situation. In the waking world a feeling is something that stays within yourself. Sure, you might *express* a feeling through your actions, but at the end of the day that sensation of burning from anger, the tingle in your spine from happiness, and the pressing weight of melancholy are all the result of a chemical reaction inside your brain that will never truly be parted from your physical being. However: in the dream world this is not the case. Here emotions aren't just an experience: they are a force.
O.I: Derrick's Fear lets him perform supernatural feats. Emily's resolve lets her take blows and turn part of it into healing, and her fury gives her super strength though I don't think you've seen that one yet. Lexii's hope gives her miracles. The list goes on and the two of you are included as well, even if you don't realize it yet.
O.I: But an emotion is not just a source of power: it is a *force*. It can act against you just as readily as it grants you power. Lucia, your and Derrick's fear can overwhelm you. Emily's resolve can leave her defenseless as a monster tries to kill her. Alice's hate can... well, that one's pretty self-evident, no offense.
Daydream: It's fine, I understand well enough by now.
O.I: All of this preamble is leading to this: Lucia, Alice is not the only person that has born Hate. There is something you can't remember, and even though the knowledge itself is potentially dangerous, while you feel that spot missing from your memories you won't be able to truly move past the force that your emotions are exerting upon you. This will lead to you two being unable to cooperate, which is just as much of a death knell as what you knowing what happened might cause.
Lucia: ..........
O.I: So I want you to make a choice Lucia. Do you want to know what happened? These are your memories, and you are the ones who will face the potential ramifications. We can not rightfully make the decision for you. Alice, if she says yes please honestly tell her what you saw and what we told you. We can give reminders if needed."
Daydream: Well there you have it, Lucia.
Daydream: The choice is yours. Learn why I hate you and potentially cause a rift in what we're trying to do here.
Daydream: Or hold out for now until we can work things out with everyone else, together.
Lucia: .....
Lucia: Why...
Lucia: Why am I the only one that seems unreasonable...?
Lucia: After all this... It's me who is the problem??
Daydream: What will it be, Lucia?
Lucia: .... I'll leave it be.
Daydream: Good!
Ira: Thank you, Ms. Lucia! OuO
Lucia: If I press on this anymore I feel like something bad will happen.
Lucia: I want to move past this but my feelings won't let me.
Lucia: I will at least try...
Daydream: That's all I ask.
Daydream: Now, we have work to do. Me especially.
Daydream: Don't fuck anything else up more.

Lucia: .... We're back again.
Ira: ouo
Lucia: Listen, Ira I--
Ira: It's okay, Ms. Lucia.
Ira: Faltering is to be expected. Just rise once again and you will be fine.
Ira: I'm thankful you've found the willingness to put your differences on hold to continue.
Lucia: ....
Lucia: Do you feel what I'm feeling right now, Ira??
Lucia: I feel so...
Ira: Cheated??
Lucia: Yes! That's it!
Lucia: I thought we would be on somewhat similar stances, but for her to play "the bigger man" instantly?
Lucia: It made everything seem so trivial, like "I killed you a bunch of times, but don't worry about that we got other things to do!"
Lucia: Like, bitch I know that but I still feel this way.
Ira: It's understandable that you cannot help it. Feelings are just feelings.
Ira: If you wait for them to come, sit with them and examine them. Then understand why they are what they are and let them pass.
Ira: It's a simple practice that you'll have to pick up, but I'm sure you can do it.
Lucia: ...Y-yeah..
Ira: Also. Did you forget what you were up to?
Lucia: Huh?
Ira: You were so busy earlier, learning all my techniques. eue
Ira: You learned something new.
Lucia: What's that?
Ira: You learned Dark Asylum: The Pitch Black.
Ira: You can use it to create your own little world to bend as you wish. You can visit any time, but for now only you.
Lucia: I can go back there again?
Ira: Yes. If you get a little creative, you can find ways to use it to help you out.
Lucia: Great. For now let's go see what Emily wanted from us.
Ira: Okay.

Lucia: Hey Emily, what's going on?
Lucia: And... Uilos??
Uilos: Greetings, Lucia.
Emily: Lucia..!! Are you alright?
Lucia: Yes... Sorta...
Lucia: Why did you want to see me?
Emily: There's something we have to talk about.
Emily: But I think this discussion would be better with Lucas.
Emily: Come with me to go see him!
Lucia: ....
Lucia: I don't know.
Emily: ...?
Lucia: Some things have happened and there's just a lot I don't know anymore. I need to talk to Reggie.
Lucia: If it's alright with you?
Emily: ...

1. You think that it's important to go right away
2. Let Lucia talk to Reggie
