"I'd like to think we'll be okay because it's just a dream, and theoretically it can't hurt us," he said wryly, "but if that falls through, I can definitely say I feel a bit more confident having you for backup.
"Ah..."
And then he shook his head, taking the first step up.
"No, no, it's..." He took another step and rubbed his chin. "Like it falls apart," he said, waiting for her to follow before continuing slowly up the stairs. The ground kinda opens up, and everything sort of..." He made a vague falling gesture and whistled, like the sound of a bomb dropping. "Falls in." He furrowed his brow. "That's... that's what happens when worlds end, where I come from. The darkness just swallows them up."
He didn't really want Sheena to have to see what he knew was going to happen. He supposed there were worse people to drag into a dream with you--at least she knew Sheena wouldn't use this against him--but it was still something private, something that hurt him terribly. This was his failure, and it wasn't one he wanted to share.
"Just watch your step," he said as they neared the top of the stairs. He could hear his heartbeat speed up, thudding in his ears. "That's about all we can do."
