[The picture sharpens. Whatever went sideways entails, it had to have been bad to give Leo nightmares like that. He knows the memories that give form to his own certainly are.]

[...maybe that's the in. Maybe that'll help.]

I've had nightmares like that before. Not about the same thing as yours, probably, [hopefully,] but- the kind where your body wakes up and your mind doesn't for a bit. The kind that take your worst memories and trap you in them.

So I know it's probably the last thing you want to talk about, but I also don't think you should be alone in this.

[It's one thing for Huvrye to carry the weight of his memories alone; he's an adult, and much of what happened were his choices and his fault. Leo's a kid, stuck a dimension away from his family. He shouldn't have to be alone with whatever is keeping him from resting.]
