My own mother... thought I was a monster

She was right, ofcourse! But it still hurt

A few days later Dashi and her unit finally arrived at the bar Dashi saw in her dreams. They entered but unfortunately it was a wreck from both inside and outside. Everything looked like it would collapse by a single touch. They investigated the place but came back empty handed again.

////////////////

They were sitting in the meeting room when Kazutora spoke up.

Kazutora: Whatever that's shitty ass dream Dashi had, has to be real.

Akito: Yeahh cuz all that shit just can't be a coincidence and why would she see all 4 of them in a stupid dream?

Mashi: I believe in supernatural stuff ngl

Miki: Kids, this is getting out of hand. Many many people have already been murdered and we haven't even taken a step ahead, if this keeps repeating the authorities would remove Dashi from this case

Dashi: Don't worry mam I'll handle this

Takeomi: But how can you little girl?

Chifuyu: Are you planning something Dashi?

Dashi: I'd like to go to today's investigation.... Alone

Everyone was staring at Dashi and giving her the look "you're joking right?". Takashi spoke up

Takashi: We don't know about those supernatural stuff yet. And if that's real than you might be in danger Dashi

Annie: But then why was Dashi the only one who saw that dream?

Naoto: Dashi as an attack unit officer. I'd like Akito and I to accompany you

Dashi: I believe I'll be safe.. and I'd like to go alone

Everyone knew there was no point in protesting and just nodded. Dashi smiled and bowed to everyone before leaving

////////////////

Dashi was tired and taking a stroll in an empty garden. The garden was empty and eery because it was already nighttime and the cold creepy breeze was making it worse.

Suddenly she felt a cold hand on her shoulder and because her guard was up she turned around immediately pressing the tip of the gun on the mysterious person's forehead. She saw it was Aori

Aori gave Dashi her signature small smile and said softly.

Aori: You look stunning, Dashi

Dashi blushed and shook her head.

Dashi: What are you doing here? I have lots of questions okay?! Why did I have that dream? How do you know I'm here?

Aori: Are you here alone?

Dashi: Yes...

Aori: How can a guy leave such a beautiful girl alone at night? Typical hero behaviour.

Dashi was beyond embarrassed and put her gun back in her pocket.

Dashi: Look... I just need answers Aori

Aori: Do you know what Oneirokinesis is darling?

Dashi: N-No

Aori: The ability of a telepath to manipulate brainwaves during REM sleep, effectively controlling the victim's dreams. And I'd be lying if I said I don't have that power.

Dashi was stunned and took a step back. Tears welled up in her eyes as she was scared and confused

Dashi: I don't get it... What do you want from me Aori?!

Aori: Join me, Dashi. I'll break you out of the illusion
