Guilt crept up upon her as Kate wondered if she was making the wrong choice. Maybe she should request more time. Or answers on how to eventually find him, once the time came for his sister to finally meet Kate. All that, as natural as it seemed, felt morbid at a time when she returned home covered in bruises and thankful to be laying back in her bed.

These days, even at the darkest of hours, Kate had found new reasons for the world to feel brighter.

This request of hers? It wasn't purely selfish. He was there, too. In a way. That figure, at the distance? Him, who Lucky had gone to greet like it was the most natural thing in the world? Lately, he was a comforting presence. Both during the waking hours and sometimes, even in Kate's dreams.

"Would a person, someone who cannot walk in my world," Kate licked her lips, considering how to word her question. "I know it's probably a dumb question, but, can they walk in the Dreaming?"

She remembered flying in her dreams once. She had been a child back then.

Maybe even the blind were able to see in their dreams.
