Two weeks, two lives. An eye for an eye? Possibly. A whirlwind of events, book, and I cannot even begin to know where to start. I've found myself faced with several new responsibilities and a series of overwhelming burdens. But we are strong, aren't we, book? My involvement in PDK has reached a new height, bringing along a new set of challenges which I've taken on with unwavering and undeniable faith and vigilance. Tonight, we students lost a teacher, and others... a life long friend. I'm not sure I'm fooled so easily though, book. The Dark Knight is always several steps ahead, I don't see how this would be any different. Faith.

Last night, I continued the journey through my dream. Looking for clues, or for any sign that I'd been there before. My legs, once again, grew tired and heavy. Though luck wouldn't bring me a bench this time, book. Luck brought me to the Dead End. I remember it clearly still, which is a good sign. We're making progress, aren't we? I stood on the edge of the path that led to nowhere, staring out into a space that seemed to be waiting for me to fill in its blanks. I set myself down finally, my feet hanging over the edge. We can't die in our dreams, can we, book? I stopped. How had I not noticed this before? I remember thinking that as something to my left caught my attention. A book? I paused before picking it up, turning its black and white form over in my equally colourless hands. I sat flipping through the pages of a book I thought long lost. I knew it was mine, for the rips and stains found amongst the pages were both how I found and how I left them. Movement caught my attention now to my right. It was stuffed fox, book, one I so aptly named "Floofy". What? I was four. Anyway, I remember leaving it behind. When they brought me here. In case she should ever return. My first passion, and my first friend. You see, book, I've found irony in the "Dead End".
When I woke, I immediately administered tier one. Which, I am proud to say, has had little side effect save for a minor headache. Remind me to monitor that, will you? But my memory of the dream is clear, and doesn't appear to be fading. Now, I wait. We'll know more, soon. For now, I think I'll bake a pie.

That... self-righteous little sh... sugar glider. He'll get his, I'm not worried, book.

Tick, tock. Right, book?
She glances back from her writing, toward the small cauldron behind her. Its contents swelling and bubbling, playing with fate as it nearly boils over.
This won't do, I'm afraid.
She looks to several wooden boxes lined up on her desk, each carefully labeled with a name. Ten, in total.
I'll need to make a trip home. We'll talk tonight, book.
She stands from the chair and moves toward the cauldron to bottle the contents, satisfying one vial at a time until all ten are filled and corked. The vials already having been labeled, she places one in each box. With a dissatisfied wrinkle to her nose, she turns to leave.

Clever, that Reece. Tonight, I'll see if I can find this boy. I can't seem to shake the thought and somehow, it all feels so familiar. Perhaps my subconscious will piece together more than I could in conscious wake. What, with everything else swimming through my mind, right? Though, I'll have you know, book, the paths are more clear now. More distinct and easier to control. I've experienced a tremendous guilt this evening, I must confess. He deserves to know. They all do. We've all suffered enough. But, who am I kidding, book? It'll pass. It always does, for us, doesn't it? Emotions're funny little things, in my most unprofessional opinion on the matter.

Well, book, another event I'm forced to attend 'in case'. Lord knows we don't need to be accused of leaving everyone out to dry again right, book? Another party I show up to alone. My dress is glorious, at least.
"He didn't always have the best things. He is who he is today through sheer will power alone. But the hair? He always had the hair..."
Could it be?

To not bruise any egos, and to not inflate my own, let's call that one luck.
A small winking smiley face is drawn with no particular skill.
By the way, book, I think I've started hearing voices.

I had a night terror. I'd been waiting for this, and the results are as expected. Thoughts from my subconscious which may've plagued me, unaware, surfaced clear and plainly for me to see. How do I feel? I reckon you would ask that if you could, book. The result is once again, as expected. I feel like sh*t. I've found, however, that I've less control over the lucidity of night terrors, which is important to note for research purposes. Furthermore, it is also important to note that I write this three hours after waking. I have since read one hundred and six pages from a textbook, consumed a large breakfast, caffiene, and about seven minutes of fresh air. My subconscious memories are still clear. Should I not know better, I'd swear it had all truly happened. Dangerous, as predicted. Lucky I am confident in my current mental state, wouldn't you agree, book? Well, then, here's how it went:
They were all there, and it was the end. The final showdown. The scene replayed itself over, and over, each person starring in my personal version of their worst nightmare. I have seen over a dozen people die. Powerfully, the feelings and thoughts all remain. The visuals are clear in my mind. All of their lives I could've saved. I watched, just as frozen as my dream-self seemed to be. Doing nothing. Each scene played with a soundtrack of hollow, wipsy voices. Words I could barely make out, but the intent was to taunt, this was clear. Terrible, really. All of it.
Keep in mind, book, I've yet to achieve a state of lucidity within the dream. I haven't a death wish for these people.
I suspect the emotional overload sent me into a state of densensitisation, allowing logic to take its place, subsequently giving me an opening to make the connection I needed to enter a state of lucidity. I cannot see myself in conscious waking. Therefore, if I make the connection, I also make the realisation that I must be dreaming. You see, book, my dreams are in third person.
The scene replayed. The outcome? Better. Much better. This is where I'm especially vague, book. Because honestly: more important than the pleasant outcome, is the reason for the terror. Trust I've figured it out by now, of course. Trust, too, that I shan't speak of it here.
This has all led me to a most fascinating discovery, however. Dreams, in essence, create false memories. A complete state of lucidity allows these false memories to be controlled to your will. This is not my discovery. This is common knowledge. You know me better than that, book. Can't give away all my secrets, right? This serves as a reminder.
I've received word from Reece and I'm thrilled to hear he's kept safe. Though I worry when he's gone, I'd much rather he be away than involved dangerously in this little mess. His words couldn't have come at a better time; his faith in me is unwavering, as mine is in him. A bloody near impossible thing to find, I'll tell you. I've put the painting up next to my bed so I might see it while I fall asleep. I can't be there in wake, but maybe I can visit in dream.

Is it too late to run away? Yes, I quite think it is, isn't it? Not too late, however, to change my strategy. Never too late for that, right, book? People are expecting something from me and I ought to give it to them. I do truly hate to disappoint. Particularly when they've all asked so nicely, of course.
I have a new addition to my list, by the way. My, how quickly it's grown. Surprised? No, I bet you're not. Talk of hope, trust, and faith coming from dirty mouths and dirty minds. We're doomed. On the opposite side of the coin, we're down to three. Four if we count the dead. Soon, this will all be over for better or for worse. Or, perhaps, should they continue, for better or better. We'll see, won't we?
My research and testing phase is progressing well. Reece has offered to be my first subject and we should be starting his preparations soon. There are still a few dangers, book, that I'll be addressing in the next modification. Until then, I am apprehensive about exposing him to the current state, as the consequences could be quite severe. But, he is eager and despite the risks, seems to have belief in my works.
On that note, I think I'll go knock. I think I might like a hug.

Call it luck, call it coincidence, or call it fate. I call it being me.
Speaking of luck...
