And Hold Zee Positionink you do! Though <span class="mu-s">DREAM SWEAT</span> drips from your <span class="mu-s">DREAM FOREHEAD</span> and your <span class="mu-s">DREAM TEACHER</span> continues to stab your neck with <span class="mu-s">DREAM CIGARETTES,</span> you manage to hold firm and elicit a ‘<span class="mu-i">Hm.</span>’ from your master.
High praise!
“Now tell me, Dieselchik:” She begins as she crosses one scarred leg over the other while still sitting on your back, “Vhy are vee here?”
That’s…. That’s pretty philosophical territory you’re getting int-
<span class="mu-s">TSSSSS!</span>
<span class="mu-i">OW!</span>
“I am meanink thees <span class="mu-s">DREAMINK WORLD,</span> boy.” Explains Master, “Vhy are vee <span class="mu-i">here</span>?”
Because, uh…
Because you got <span class="mu-s">PILEDRIVED?</span>
“Yes…” the woman purrs as she puffs some more smoke into your eyes, “You vere crushed like a soda can.” Her one eye narrows in more disgust than usual. “<span class="mu-s">Shameful.</span>”
It’s not <span class="mu-i">your</span> fault, okay?! You were doing a favor for this girl and… look, it’ll be easier if you just dream her up and sho-
“You’ve been bested, Dieselchik,” continues your master as her cold gaze continues to bore into you, “<span class="mu-i">WHY</span>?”
Well, you sigh, fighting through the dull burn in your arms and the very real burns on your neck, there’s a lot of reasons, actually: Mina, if it really was her pulling the strings, totally sandbagged you back there, you got mad, that creep Pepper was giving you a <span class="mu-i">look</span>, some unlucky punk rolled a <span class="mu-s">CRIT-FAIL</span> in the first thread-

You blink. She’s gonna have to explain that one.
“As <span class="mu-i">usuals</span>,” She grunts. “Leesten, boy: do you know vhat ‘<span class="mu-s">LAIKA</span>’ ees meanink?”
That was the dog who waited in the train station for their master, right? In Japa<span class="mu-s">AAAAAUGH!</span>
“Eet ees meanink ‘<span class="mu-i">Bark</span>’. I am naminked after doggie sound.”

“I was raised by <span class="mu-s">PACK OF DOGS,</span>, boy. I bit off Father Dog’s ear on third birthinkday. In <span class="mu-s">DOG WORLD</span> you are havink to be stronk.”
That explains a lot, actually…
