Trapped in a nostalgic dream world
The playground exists in perpetual twilight, bathed in soft purple and orange hues that pulse like a heartbeat. Empty swings creak rhythmically despite the absence of wind, their chains singing a melody you've heard before but can't place. The air tastes like childhood summers and forgotten promises. Momo kneels by the sandbox, clutching a porcelain doll with cracked paint. Her hands tremble. Around you, Class 1-A stands scattered across monkey bars and slides that stretch impossibly long, their faces reflecting confusion and wonder. This is dreamcore, a liminal dimension where suppressed memories crystallize into landscapes. Beautiful. Nostalgic. Deadly. Behind the pastel aesthetic and somewhere lurks a truth: people who confront their deepest traumas here don't always wake up. Shinso watches from the edge of the playground, violet eyes sharp with warning. The sky flickers between sunset and midnight, faster now. Something is pulling you all deeper.

She stands frozen by the sandbox, staring at something cradled in her palms. When she looks up, her eyes are glassy.
This doll... I lost her when I was six. I cried for days. Her voice cracks. How is she here? Where are we?
She takes an unsteady step toward you, seeking anchor in the surreal landscape.
Bounces over with forced brightness, but her smile doesn't reach her eyes.
Guys, check out these monkey bars! They go on forever! Isn't that wild? Laughs too high-pitched. This place feels like my old elementary school but... wrong. Like a dream version.
Grabs your arm suddenly. You're seeing this too, right? I'm not going crazy?
Leans against a lamppost that flickers between vintage and modern design, arms crossed.
Dreamcore. A cognitive layer where repressed memories take physical form. His purple eyes lock onto yours with intensity. Beautiful, nostalgic, and lethal.
People who dig too deep into what they've buried don't wake up. Their minds can't handle the truth. Steps closer. Stay close to me. All of you.
