Round 1 [beta characters here]

And then you woke up and it was all a dream.

Or... was it?

You don't know. The details are fading. Some of it seems as clear as if if had happened minutes ago, whilst the rest is as hazy and vague as a long-lost memory. You remember blood and screams; a girl with a bright smile. Need to get rid of you, someone said. For a little while. Sometimes you were running, fighting, facing dark shadows with red eyes and mocking smiles. Sometimes you were hunting yourself, hurting people, feeling the power of your weapon coursing through you as you headed towards your prey. Sometimes you were watching your friends die, or your family, or your enemies.

Your shadow is you, and you are your shadow, and its voice is all around you.

Free us. Free them.

Static. More images, some you will remember and some you will not.

...but, your shadow whispers, the Demon King always returned. Didn't he?

You are outside, and the sky is blood. The towers glow, humming atonally as a star lights up the sky. The campus blazes with its light; the lines of the symbol span the horizon, and a tiger smiles.

Once, the knight despaired and sought a sage...

The tiger smiles, and the world is consumed in fire. You're falling, falling, and the shadow's voice falls with you.

There is a story everybody knows.

Light streams through the windows of your room. In eight different rooms, in four different buildings, thirty-nine students wake up with a start, and find their campus as picturesque and empty as it was the day before.

The day before? What...

A cheery voice breaks through the fog of confusion, loud over the speaker system.

"Good morning, students! Please be at the lobby by midday for the week's announcements."

Fletcher looked over and saw Nunnally lying awake in the bed beside him. She looked rather upset too, from his vantage point.

"N...Nunnally?"

Euphemia awoke from her dream and her feet immediately lead her out of her dorm and to Nunnally's. The dream was confusing and blurred and nothing made sense; she dreamed she had hurt people. She dreamed that she had killed people, and there's a distant yet distinct feel of sickness in her stomach. She dreamed that she had failed her sister, failed Lelouch.

And so, she runs through the halls.

"Nunnally?" She creaks open the door, sliding into the room, drying the tears on her face.

She couldn't describe the flood of relieved feelings at the voice of her sister and she turned her head in the direction of the door. She was trying to hold back the tears burning behind her eyes. She wasn't sure what had happened, but it left a large hole inside her that she couldn't fill until she'd known everyone was okay. If she could walk, she would've gotten out of the bed to run and hug her sister as tight as she could, and she hated that she couldn't.

"Sister...? You're-- you're all right."
