[ Something has not sat right about this with Joshua. Even if there was something about it that he couldn't heal, it shouldn't have felt like... nothing. He's never felt that before.
But when he sees Sesa pick up the corpse of someone other than himself, with seemingly no ill effects at all, it's like a light bulb turns on. He sits up straighter, pulls in a breath.
Like when they had first stepped in here. When he had been so certain he'd been back in the bailey at Rosalith Castle, but to the others, nothing else had been wrong aside from him being in a slumber. And the only person here in a slumber is-- ]
... Mizuki.
[ It's soft, almost to himself. His eyes search the layer of water around them. Mizuki had physically responded when the others had become afflicted, but didn't even seem to flinch just now, when Sesa picked up Gnosis' corpse. Is this another illusion on a far more grand scale? Are they all trapped within Mizuki's dream, the same way he had been trapped in his own?
By the Founder. If that's what this is, if they're all in, how are they to break out? ]
