You suddenly tensed up, and turned back to look at the silhouettes as they appeared to... collapse right to the floor. Two of them. You squinted as you took a few cursory steps forward.
No, don't tell you...
"Ah!" You gasped.
It was Marisa, and Reisen. The both of them had been thoroughly beaten up. They were in terrible conditions, but still alive, thankfully. Their chests slowly rose and fell with labored breathes. Even Doremy seemed a bit surprised at their condition.
That was when you felt a hand fall on your shoulder, and your blood froze, as did your expression.
<span class="mu-s">"For starters, I had Doremy work hard to fetch out the cognitive imprint these two leave in the Dream World from the waking one with all their dream history. Their... Dream Souls. As they entered in physical form, it was easy for Doremy to put them into a permanent sleep with their own Dream Souls. A thing she hadn't thought of in the past herself. But, that's just what she got for not thinking ahead. She might rule the Dream World, but she doesn't know everything."</span>
"What have you done."
You felt yourself stumble as the sound of closing doors and a little force hit you in the back. Did she...? Did she emerge from a door on your back...?
You turned to face the secret god, who came over to Doremy.
You watched as she ran her fingers under the bottom of Doremy's chin, the vaunted ruler of the Dream World even appearing uncomfortable herself under the secret god's presence. This vile god just smiled menacingly as she stared at you.
Something... was different about her this time around. She seemed a lot more... infernal. Her eyes had definitely darkened, as if they contained some malevolence that wrenched your guts when you saw them. Something fiery. She snickered.
<span class="mu-s">"Well, Doremy, I don't see any harm in it. Why don't you go ahead and tell him why you're working for me?"</span>
Doremy gulped, and kept her poker face, intentionally trying to hide the nervousness.
<span class="mu-s">"W... Well, for one, I don't have dominion over 'all' the dreams in the universe. The Dreams of some places... such as Hell, run far out of my reach. But, I was promised by the secret god that, if I help her in her goals to protect Gensokyo, she'll return the favor by giving me influence over all the Dreams of Hell's denizens that I couldn't previously touch."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"And to this end, that also includes what?"</span>
