Summary
“They sleep with a light on. Never in pitch black darkness, like they should as adults. They keep a source of light, always. A small night light, one of those made for little children, that sit on their drawer and bathe the room in a faint, soft green glow.
It doesn’t keep the nightmares away, but it makes them a little more comfortable - As much as recurrent nightmares can be. At least, when one of them wakes up screaming in terror, they’re not lost in an endless abyss and the silhouette of their bedroom – drawer, closet, mirror, tv, the landscape painting hanging on the wall - drawing itself in the low-light grounds them in reality a bit faster.”Even after Naoki restored the world the way it was, their time in the Vortex still hovers above their minds like heavy thunderclouds.
