Daniel?!
What happened...?
I couldn't talk... And all I saw was red...
... Oh... It was just a dream.
So scary....
???: Not quite.
Huh?
W-who's there?
???: You can hear me?
Yes... Who are you?
???: .... Be who you want to be.
???: Go where you want to go.
???: Remember?
.... That voice.
???: Yes.
???: It's me.
???: I'm a bit surprised you heard me so soon.
???: I've only started communing with you very recently.
???: I supposed that is expected as a god.
... Whoa whoa...
That's crazy talk. I'm not a god.
???: Hmm... Self doubt is of course expected.
???: We'll take it slow.
???: The Elders think highly of us.
???: To make our dreams come true, let's not disappoint them.
Elders??
???: It's a bit much to explain so soon, but...
???: You know how Daniel for seemingly no reason can speak with Herbert?
???: When did he learn his strange language?
... I don't know.
???: The Elders taught him.
???: Because they found us worthy of their knowledge.
But why?
???: Who knows.
???: I want to be happy. I'm sure you do too.
....
???: There is a path in this world that can lead us there.
???: But it is treacherous.
???: Monsters, death, traitors... Around every corner.
???: Madness behind wrong doors.
???: And of course cowardice and self doubt, the greatest enemy.
???: Surpass all these on our adventure, and we can be free.
???: Wouldn't you like that?
Y-yes!
???: Good.
???: Now get up.
???: You were killed earlier. Very messily I might add.
.....!!
That worm thing... it sprayed me with this thread...
It felt like... i was getting cut everywhere at once.
???: Gruesome.
???: This land of ours is full of things like that.
???: Let's be careful, okay?
O-okay!

I guess it really was all a dream.
-sigh-
As scary as it was, I kinda want to keep dreaming.
... This stinks...

???: That dream felt so real... didn't it?
.... Am I going crazy?
???: What?
You are not Daniel. I can't see who I'm talking to...
Who are you?
???: Me? Well...
???: It's hard to understand.
???: Let's just say, I'm like Daniel's older brother.
Okay.
Where is Daniel anyway?
???: ...!
???: Yes, that's a good question...
???: Daniel is always with his best buddy...
???: Is this normal?
No way...
???: Let's focus on how weird this is.
???: Where could Daniel have gone? He can't pass through walls like a ghost can.
???: Is he asleep?
I don't think so... That's so weird...
Daniel!!
Where are you?!

Daniel: Oh man, you should have seen Herbert go!
What happened?
Daniel: Well that worm thing sprayed you with shiny thread and you fell to pieces..!
Daniel: But then Herbert fired a laser from his face which opened suuuuuper wide like a flower!
Whoa...
Daniel: It ripped through that worm in one hit but then other worms came!
Daniel: I thought we were gunna die too but then Herbert shrinked into a tiny white ball and started to glow so bright I couldn't see anything...
Daniel: When I could see again all the worms were dead!
Daniel: It's been a while since more came so we may be safe for now.
Herbert is strong...
Daniel: Right??
Daniel: He ran away saying you were in danger.
Daniel: I'll call him back.
Daniel: ((HERBERT!!))

Ophelia: What's your name?
It's--
Herbert: Silence! Do not speak to my ((Guardian/Sponsor)).
Herbert: ((Devils/Abominations like you do not deserve life anew/possession))!
Ophelia: ((Would you relax, Hurgh'blrgh))
Ophelia: I'm just trying to be friendly for once.
Herbert: What's the call here, Pal?
1. Attack right now!

This is the first person I met down here...
I haven't seen others in... as far as I can recall, I've never met another person other than my parent.
I'd like to be friendly.
Ophelia: Huhuhu~ Good choice little one!
Herbert: Tch...
Ophelia: Aww, don't be so upset, ((Hurgh'blrgh)). I mean well this time.
Ophelia: Look, look! Let me show you a sign of good faith. Hmm?
Ophelia: Listen boy, You might be feeling right as rain, but you've recently passed away.
T-that's right.
But how did you--
Ophelia: I'm sort of from here. Others who are like me, like your puppy friend can tell when you pass away.
Ophelia: It's like a loud siren that goes off in our heads and directs us to your location.
Uhm...
Ophelia: Now this would be fine, if we were coming with good intentions. But usually, this signals a way for someone here to escape into your world.
Ophelia: All they would need to do is touch your body sleeping away, and poof!
Ophelia: They will awake from your sleep as you.
..!!
Ophelia: You however will trade places, and stay here forever.
Ophelia: Well... Until the same opportunity presents itself again.
How can I stop this??
Ophelia: You just need to be careful! Don't fret.
Ophelia: If you can touch your body before anyone else, you'll reclaim your spot in your world and a similar siren will repel any who were on their way so you're not waking up to a parade of enemies.
I should go home then, right??
Ophelia: Ahh, now comes the good faith part. I can help you!
Ophelia: Look!

Ophelia: Is this you?
Yes, but how??
Ophelia: I'll explain more later. Under a... condition.
Yes?
Ophelia: I'm sort of... Lonely. I think you are the first boy I've come across since I was... I guess you could say normal.
Ophelia: Allow me to hang around and I can teach you all kinds of things?
Herbert: .......
Herbert?
Herbert: This ((Devil/abomination)) Is soulless. They paid the price when they ran into the void.
Void? Soulless?
Herbert: I would not trust this one.
Ophelia: Don't mind ((Hurgh'blrgh)), he's always been rude and stuck-up.
Ophelia: Besides, I'm doing you a huge favor right now to build trust.
Ophelia: I would not expect you to trust me after first meeting.
That's true.
Fine.
Ophelia: Eeeee!! I'm so happy to hear this!
Ophelia: Go on, reclaim your body.
You reach out to what seems like infinite space only for the distance to close in an instant. It's as if you entered a mirror somehow. You hold your hand on your head and moments later your sleeping body disappears.

Ophelia: Well, thoughts ((Hurgh'blrgh))?
Herbert: So what, you've assisted my ((Guardian/Sponsor))... You've suddenly gained compassion?
Ophelia: Baby steps~

I just got here.
Ophelia: I see...
Ophelia: Are you exploring right now?
Yeah! I've always been in my room. So I'm exploring this new world as an adventure!
Ophelia: Look at you!
Ophelia: Did... He explain your role in all this?
Herbert?
Ophelia: Ahh, you've assigned him a handle already, right.
Ophelia: Herbert is a cute name, it suits you!
Herbert: .......
No, I have no idea why I'm here or what I'm supposed to do.
Ophelia: Herbert? That's not very nice.
Herbert: I am a guide. Information is ushered in an "As needed" basis.
Ophelia: As expected, selfish.
Ophelia: Listen boy, Herbert has big plans for you.
Ophelia: As he did me.
Ophelia: There is a curse that blocks me from going into details.
Ophelia: Just know that if you want a well rounded idea of what goes on in this land, you'll need me.
Hmm...
Say, Daniel... What do you think of all this?
Daniel: It's all very strange and a lot to take in.
Daniel: But it's also exciting..! I can't wait to see what we get into next.
Daniel: Hopefully not more gruesome deaths though!
Ophelia: Hehe!
