> The humming stops.
> "Yes...?" an uncertain girl's voice calls back.
> You keep scuttling towards the light until you see what looks like the edge of a picnic blanket.

> You crawl out from behind the rock and find yourself in a small clearing in the cave. There's a picnic blanket spread out on the rock, and a girl with blonde hair, gold eyes, and a maid dress sits on it. There's a picnic basket next to her, and she seems to be spreading some jam onto a slice of bread. There are some lanterns hanging from the ceiling, giving the place a warm, friendly glow.

>"There's more than one!?"

> "Oh, yes. Thousands, perhaps even millions." Mugetsu sets down the slice of bread and takes an apple and a knife from the picnic basket. She continues to talk as she starts peeling the apple.
> "Almost all of them can really only be accessed by going to sleeping and having a dream, though. Have you ever seen the same place twice in a dream? You've probably visited the same place twice. That's pretty common, but unless you actively have lucid dreams where you end up is really a roll of the dice, you see."
