She creates a swirl of moths around her hand "These!"
Kila gasps and reaches out to hold one. His hands glow with a soft, warm light.
They begin to fly towards the light "These little ones are like nocturnal butterflies! They love going towards light"
He giggles and moves his hands around. “Can I bring some back with me?”
"Well... Things cant travel from the dream realm. But I can dream up new ones when we return!!"
“I’ll make some! Let’s move this place first!” He says excitedly.
"Alright! First... You must awaken"
“Oh wait.. this isn’t real. Right.” He shuts his eyes tightly. “Wait, how do I wake up?”

"Indeed. If I must take the brunt of it, then so be it. Better to vent rage at one who can handle it than one who can not."
"Aight, well in that case don't berate then for getting angry?" Haran shrugs
"I was not berating him. What he has is a problem. His rage and fear feed each other in a cycle that will get progressively worse if he fails to acknowledge it."
“Why are you.. why are you telling me about my problems?” He says quietly. “I already know. I know every day. But Nedari.. my people.. they see good in me.”
"Even if you know... are you doing anything about it? Are you meditating? Doing breathing exercises? You are a good person, but I exist to spread caution and awareness of threats."
"Your rage. It is a failure of the deepest kind. A failure of self-control. You must learn to control it, or it will devour you and your friends. If you refuse to face it, refuse to face how little control you actually have over this mad world, and keep pretending that you are perfect, you are certain to see my vision again... and this time, it will be more than paint."
The puppet suit begins to reform around Okropnosc.
“I can.. I can control it.” He says quietly. “It’s.. I.. I will never hurt anyone again. I didn’t.. I would never hurt them.” Kila’s breathing begins to grow more ragged as he starts panicking. “I won’t- it won’t happen. It won’t.”
"Be sure of this. I will help you, but only if you need me. I pray that you never do. Now hold out your hand." He produces a small trinket: a tiny, smiling, stone button that resembles a flower.
"Keep this. If you ever feel the rage bubbling up, rub this Worry Stone and remember that things will get better if you show self-control. I carved it out just for you, so it will remain intact in your domain."
Kila looks at it hesitantly. “Your.. your predecessor offered me something once as well. It brought great pain among my people.”

"Compassion is not my strong suit. My entire purpose is to force uncomfortable truths on man and god alike in order to protect them. I doubt I will need to repeat this lesson."
"I got problems with forcing people to do things," chuckles Haran, "So... yeah."
"They need not follow my lessons. But if they don't, bad things typically happen without my input."
"Your rage. It is a failure of the deepest kind. A failure of self-control. You must learn to control it, or it will devour you and your friends.

"This is a rock. It cannot hurt you. Not everyone is Koszmar. Most people like you, including me. You are right to fear, though, as the only thing you have to fear... is Fear Itself." The nightmare god 'smiles,' an expression that barely counts as an expression on a face that barely counts as a face.
"Well... If you will it hard enough, you may be able to. Or I could exit and wake you"
Kila pokes himself repeatedly in the arm and the dream turns hazy. They both wake up as it ends.

"Spreading fear is a pretty poor way to protect people. You'll just paralyse them so they can never act and then they'll never be free or happy."

“Yeah, its weird. I just take one of my feathers and it becomes a bird.”
