Outside the nightmare, Thirteen Fragrances and Husky surrounded Annan.
While Isaac was busy nearby the control panel, checking something.
"Strange, why can't we make contact?"
Thirteen Fragrances murmured, "Just now Annan clearly responded... It didn't seem like he couldn't hear."
"He must have heard, but didn't hear clearly."
Isaac took a deep breath, his hands constantly moving and his brow furrowing, "I think I understand. This is not Bernardino's nightmare... but a dream within a dream.
"Have you noticed? Annan's actions and mindset lack a portion of logic—missing 'restraint' and 'vigilance'. He's like he is in a dream right now.
"Or rather... the content of this nightmare, is a reenactment of 'Bernardino's dream'."
"A dream within a dream?"
On hearing this, Husky instantly perked up, "We've fought through a dream within a dream instance before!"
