”I'm probably not to blame, it's probably nothing,
I'm probably just having a bad dream, I need to wake up soon.”
— Mikoto Kayano, “MeMe”, MILGRAM
Wake me up, 'cause this isn't real
It's just a bad dream
A cave in my chest,
Hell freezes in my bloodstream
But it's all in my mind
'cause I don't believe
In this Jabberwocky, Jabberwocky
It's just a bad dream
A cave in my chest,
Hell freezes in my bloodstream
But it's all in my mind
'cause I don't believe
In this Jabberwocky, Jabberwocky

"(Thinking) Come on, it... it was just a bad dream... Even so, it was so real, can't get it out of my mind... that voice, telling me what to do. A voice unlike Kris's... a terrifying voice... Kris... Recently, there's been something... different about them. Why hasn't anyone else noticed it...? I... I have to figure it out. Why Kris is acting so strange... Why they keep coming... to the hospital..." (Kris answers or approaches her)
(She talks to them) "H-Huh!? K-Kris... how long have you been standing there!? Phew, you... haha, you really scared me, you know?"
(Thinking again) Keep it together, Noelle... There's nothing to be afraid of... After all, a dream is just a dream, right...? th-then... Then why did their voice just now... sound... So terrifying?

Jax: We've been stuck here for years. Old Kinger over there's supposedly been here the longest.
Kinger: Huh, did someone say something about an insect collection?
Jax: That's why he's crazy! (chuckles)
Pomni: (hyperventilating before going delusional) Oh, okay, now I get it! This is a dream and I should just play along until I wake up, right?
(Beat, every character look at each other)
Jax: Whatever you say, kid.

(thinking) This is all a dream. Right? It has to be a dream. It has to be. This can't be real. None of this can be real.
