"Saira... get up, Saira." I opened my eyes, only to find Noir standing over me. "Where am I? Did Eddy send me here?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeLLxXbSdY
"While it can be considered a dream world, it is important to note that this dream was triggered by the injection you received, rather than by that troublesome crow. Now, get up and take a good look at yourself."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvMShCJCqz
"I'm a mermaid?" I looked down in complete shock and discovered my body changed. "My arms have fins hanging from them!" I noticed I was adorned in a stunning, flowing gown of shimmering green and blue.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcBLRj60xO
"The correct term would be Naiad, my dear. You should appreciate the fact that you possess clothing; typically, these mythical creatures are entirely bare. It is also fortunate that you do not have a tail replacing your legs, otherwise you would get nowhere around here."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Oh82KW8v
"Is there anything you can do other than state the obvious?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZ6EtIe1C
"Naiads are known for their elegance and benevolence, and it is likely that they possessed refined manners, a quality that appears to be absent in a girl like yourself."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhCQKhsJxk

"In order to escape the dream, you need to first enter the dream. Find the portal and go through it. That's all I can do for you, darling. Now, get exploring!"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOn67YJxDo

I navigated through a narrow tunnel, captivated by the colorful fish darting about, seeking refuge among the vibrant coral formations. Visiting a zoo had always been a dream of mine. My mother told me about a zoo one morning, after she chaperoned students on a field trip.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SH4y4Cwlw
She spoke of the different animals she saw, and took a few pictures. I know she might've meant well in doing so, but the pictures made it even more painful, knowing I would never get to visit such a place. This dream is the best I could have. As I reached the end of the tunnel, I found the portal I was looking for.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC8vMmAbck
