[Sora is slow to react to Dante's words, the meanings not registering while his brain is still trying to catch up. It's a bit of a shock to his system, and he shivers slightly. Whether it's from the shock or the cold rain dripping into his eyes is anyone's guess.
It takes even longer for him to answer Dante and start to follow him.]
Yeah.
[It's just a dream. Just a dream. It's not true, it's just a dream, he tells himself. He trails behind Dante as they walk, occasionally turning to look behind him, as though the visions might follow. Eventually, he begins to hyperfocus on Dante's light-colored hair, a beacon in the dark forest, just to keep himself going.
It's only when they near the edge of the forest that Sora stops, the true weight of what had happened finally hitting him. He stands, mouth opening and closing, trying to find the words to describe what he's feeling and failing. He has so many questions, but none of them are coming out.]
