Lunet was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Yeah... please? Pretty sure I'd not make it up the stairs without help at the moment." She admitted.

'I'm just way too damned tired." She sighed lightly before turning off the TV.

". . . hasn't been this bad for awhile." That much was a bit of a lie, as it had never gotten quite that bad, but it was to help sell what she said was going on.

Hal just nodded in response.

"Of course." he replied.

"I understand." he told her.

He then hefted her onto his back, and carried her up the stairs, into her room, and then laid her down on her bed.

"Get some sleep, honey." he told her, gently running his hand through her hair.

"Love you." he said, kissing her forehead.

"Love you, Dad." Lunet answered before getting comfy.

"I'll see you later." She added. ". .. and hopefully be more awake..."

It didn't take long before she was out, dead to the world. Hal probably could have tried to wake her, but she wouldn't have even noticed. Her body needed it that badly.

Hal had taken that time and gone downstairs, and Cain had finished his shower.

The two of them were talking to each other, when they heard a shriek from upstairs... a familiar one, for Cain.

"Lunet!?" Hal exclaimed, before disappearing from where he was.

"...not again..." was all Cain mumbled.

Hal burst into Lunet's room, where he saw his daughter locked in a nightmare.

"Lunet, honey, wake up!" he said, getting close and attempting to jostle her awake.

Lunet, much like everytime this had happened with Cain instead of Hal, didn't wake easily. When she finally did - which took about fifteen minutes - she scrambled back, and off the bed. Hal was quick though, and she landed on a bubble of mana, essentially. The mana seeped in a bit, and she started to calm down, not realising exactly what had happened, at least not right away.

"Th-thanks, Cain." She said quietly, not realising that it was Hal, instead, that had woken her.

"...." Hal was silent for a moment.

"No, sweetie." he said.

"It was me." he told her.

'...hm.' he then thought.

"Lunet, it's me, your father." he then said further.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"What happened there?"

He was able to visibly see, even in the extremely low light that was there, Lunet's complexion drain of most, if not all, of her colour.

"... ah..." She said after a moment.

"I... I'm all right. Just... just a nightmare." She then answered, downplaying it - although she realised that it likely wouldn't work. She had to try though.

The way she saw it, he was already busy and whatnot with work... he did not need her own mental issues to be heaped atop that pile.

"....uh-huh." Hal mumbled.

"I've seen people have nightmares before." he said.

"I've seen YOU have nightmares before." he informed her.

"THAT was not a nightmare." he said.

"Lunet..." he then addressed her, trailing off a bit.

"...is this why you haven't been sleeping?" he asked her.

"Why you look so terrible?"

Lunet just sighed, knowing she couldn't avoid it.

". . . yeah..." She said after a few seconds, and another sigh.

"I ... didn't want to worry you on top of the mountain of everything going on right now." She added. "... sorry."

Hal just sighed. It was clear. It was audible.

And it was exasperated.

"....Lunet..." he mumbled.

"Sweetie... you need help." he told her.

"Professional help." he clarified.

"I'm going to talk to Dr. Fyrane in Canada." he then said. "Get a recommendation from him." he went on.

"This needs to be looked at, and it needs to be looked at post-haste."

Lunet just nodded, knowing that she couldn't argue it, as she realised that she needed help.

"I... y-yeah.." She said, her voice tailing off a bit.

"I... is .... Is Cain stll here? Or... Becase... I ..." She was trembling, and it wasn't hard to tell that whatever had caused her to scream like that had left a mark. While she didn't doubt that Hal could help, she knew that Cain could.

"Yes, dear, he is." Hal responded... just as Cain knocked on the door.

"Hey." he said.

"...I'd ask if things are all right here, but... well... I think I know the answer to that." he muttered.

"Come here, Cain." Hal replied.

"I need to make some phone calls." he told him, as the young man approached.

"Yes, sir." he replied.

"Take care of Lunet." Hal told him.

"The best I can." Cain responded.

Lunet nodded as she crawled back onto her bed. She didn't say anything as Hal left, just pulled her knees up and rested her head atop them.

"I... I didn't expect him to still be here..." She admitted after a few seconds, before sighing as he sat down nex tot her. She just laid her head on his shoulder, which wasn't something that normally happened.

"Thanks, Cain..." She said quietly. She sounded dead tired, and still a bit scared, but not nearly as terrified as the first time.

'For... dealing with this and sticking around."

Cain just sighed.

"No, it's all right." he said.

"I'm glad to help." he told her. "Or... well, try to, anyway." he muttered.

"We'll get through this." he then said.

"You'll get through this, that is, with help from me and your dad." he then clarified.

"I promise." he said.

All the while, he was wondering if that pit had anything to do with it. Was it something that happened BEFORE the pit? What was going on?

Lunet just sighed as Cain said what he did. She didn't say anything as she reached up and wrapped her arms around him, getting a bit more comfortable as she did so.

"I... just you being here, really helps." She added after a moment or two,a nd it was honest, even if he wasn't sure about that for the moment, due to how it really was hard to tell overall.

". . . stay? please... I ... I need some sleep, and ... maybe if you stay here... I'll be able to." She then said quietly.

"Maybe it'll help keep the ... that neon precursor and what it brings at bay." she added, unknowingly giving him a bit of a hint as to what was going on.

Cain held her close, but paused when she said her last bit.

'...neon... precursor...?' he thought.

'...what the...?' he asked himself.

"Uh... Lunet?" he addressed her.

"What... what do you mean?" he asked her.

"Neon precursor? How so? Like... can you be more specific?"

Lunet was silent before sighing, but didn't move.

"There's... a flash of neon green before the..." She started before shuddering and just holding him a bit tigher. She didn't know what to say, didn't honestly think she could voice any of it. It was too real, too haunting and rather harrowing. She couldn't voice it.

She was still trembling slightly, and it was very easy to identify that it was out of fear.

"It's all right." Cain responded.

"You don't have to say any more." he told her.

"Just try and relax and calm down." he said further, holding her a bit closer.

However, in his mind, his thoughts were racing.

Neon green?

How was that possible? How did she know that? Did she have a proper grasp of colours like that?

And why was this so familiar to him?

Why? How? He swore he'd seen or heard of that before...

By the time that Hal returned to check on them, he found Lunet passed out curled up to Cain, as the undead was watching something quiet on the TV she had in her room.

When she woke about three hours later, she found Cain was still in there with her. It wasn't hard to guess that he'd gotten up and returned through the time, but he was still there, and they were still together.

"Nng..." She groaned as she woke, sitting up carefully. She was still dead tired, but at the very least she actually looked like she got some sleep, for once.

"Cain...?" She asked as she felt around, wondering who she had been laying on as she pat his chest to make sure that there actually was a person still there.

Cain looked at her as she spoke his name and patted his chest.

"Yo." he replied.

"I'm here." he said.

"Still here." he assured her.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Any better than before?" he asked further.

He then sighed quietly, as he looked at her. Yes, she still looked damn tired, but it seemed like she at least got 3 solid hours of sleep, and wasn't interrupted by whatever had been plaguing her recently.
