Fear spread amongst the Dojo like a fire. The other students were reacting to the events outside, spreading word. It could feel them.

Then the song came. Quiet at first, but steadily crescendoing in the minds of all present until it was clear as day. The melody was eerie and alien, but despite that, strangely comforting. The panicking students grew slowly calm, lulled from their fear and disharmony into a warm, dream-like state of peace. Many found themselves lost from their surroundings altogether, drawn into a vision of rolling fields and beautiful flowers, where a perfect summer day beat down on them from overhead.

Amongst the fields, there was one figure who was not of the students, a slight androgynous figure with pitch-black long hair and pale skin, wrapped in a robe of black where they sat amongst the flowers. They seemed distracted, like they were focused on another world entirely.

Whether it would have the same unnatural effect on Mei and Sky, however, was uncertain.

The eyes from the storage room watched Mei warily, tendrils retreating back around the frame, waiting to see if she and her companion were drawn into the dream like the students or not.
