"A heated debate with a co-worker left my blood boiling, so I stormed out of the office to clear my head on the walk back to my apartment. When I reached the main avenue, massive steel barricades blocked the entire street, guarded by armed construction crews. Frustrated, I took a detour through a dark pine forest, only for a massive, rogue stag to spring out from the timber and gash my shoulder with its antlers.
Instantly, I snapped awake into a second dream layer. The forest vanished, and I was kneeling beside Marcus in a sunlit sanctuary, whispering words of healing over him. He looked up, smiled warmly, and whispered, "It worked." When I reached out to pat his arm in comfort, my palm sank into a warm, thick pool of crimson blood coating his sleeve.
Before I could react, the scene fractured again, plunging me into a third dream layer. I was standing in a pitch-black corridor, surrounded by a heavy, suffocating silence.
I felt No Emotion—a total, vacant numbness washed over me. My mind went completely blank, detached from the horror of the blood and the sting of the attack, observing the void with absolute indifference until I finally opened my eyes to reality."
