Within that dream, none of them were aware that they were repeating the same events over and over again... umm, until those two that you saw came to find me, and I was able to reawaken their memories.
It... wasn't good for them, though. There is only so much that humans can take. While their consciousnesses went on believing that only a single day had passed, time was passing for their physical forms. Some of them were even wasting away...
Yes. The Traveler and Paimon worked quickly and were able to identify the dream's host and wake them up. It was cutting it a little close for Dunyarzad, but... [she breathes out a sigh of relief.] ...we managed.
Ah... I'm so relieved. Wasting away in your sleep, without even knowing what's happening to you... It sounds like such a scary way to die.
[like, yikes? yikes.
the pigs are not done with them yet, though! and here is another memory (13:46-16:01), of sitting in an empty room and gazing into a blank faced boy's eyes for hours upon hours, bringing up random topics every now and then. yes, all the UI aspects are perfectly visible within the memory.]

Ahaha... Would you believe if I said it was an awful first date?
It seems like it would be lonely, spending so much time with someone who didn't say anything back. [...] I'm sorry... that might have been a little too blunt to say.

It was a little blunt. But it's not like you're wrong, either.

It's fine. And, to be honest, it's not like we're still together...
no subject
No second date?
no subject
no subject
No, I thought you'd be the one doing the dumping.
