[The dream starts out plain enough. Selphie’s wandering through a large field of wildflowers. The sun is shining and there’s a gentle breeze blowing the sweet smell of flowers and petals toward her. Something about this field of flowers is familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time thanks to the Malnosso’s tampering. Small plumes of dandelion puffs take flight as she brushes past a bouquet of weeds. Regardless, she takes a few steps forward before the dream changes.

Now she’s standing in a hallway with students in school uniforms milling around her. These uniforms, like the field before her bring out a sense of familiarity as the perky brunette opts for shrugging this off. There’s no way that this is real, she’s thinking. She’s lived in Luceti her entire life, raised by loving parents. Looking down, Selphie’s wearing the same uniform as the rest of the students before she sees the faces of friends that she can’t quite put a name to the face of. She spots Irvine in the hall and stares at him in confusion when he tilts his hat to her. Zell comes next with an enthusiastic wave followed by Quistis, Squall and Rinoa.

Who are these people; she’s wondering as she steps forward again and the scene changes.

Now Selphie is being engulfed in flames as she immediately wakes up. Sitting bolt-upright in bed with a startled cry, she wraps her arms around herself protectively. What was that, she’s wondering before she slips out of bed and gets dressed. The rush of adrenaline the last fragment of her dream gave her means she won’t be getting back to sleep anytime soon. Grabbing her nunchaku, the perky brunette has slipped into her training clothes and heads for the Battle Dome to work through it in quiet. She doesn’t want to worry her family as she slips into her training boots and leaves her home quietly.

Or she’d try to anyway. In the process, she knocks open the journal as she starts talking to herself in a soft tone.]

What a weird dream...

I was in a hallway, wearing the same uniform as a bunch of others. Some of these people I recognized but couldn't put a name to the face of. Before that... I was walking through a field of wildflowers.

[She thinks on it for a few moments and then responds.]

Do wildflowers mean anything to you? What about the people. Are they all people you met before or not? Or maybe you feel like you met them?

Maybe I have... it was all so vague.

[She nods.]

Selphie, I know it might be a little hard, but the next you have these strange dreams I suggest you write down what you see. Dreams rarely stick so easily to someone's memory after they woke up. These dreams may not be the same, but I still suggest it nonetheless.

I'll do my best, Paprika.

I'm sure you will. Take care of yourself and try to get some rest. If you take short naps you shouldn't be able to enter a deep enough sleep cycle to dream, so it can help you avoid some nasty nightmares a little.

I'll do that, then.

Thanks, Paprika.

No problem. Take care Selphie!

I will! First things first though... gotta work off some of this energy.

Got it. Don't get hurt in the process.

I know healing magic, y'know.

That doesn't really reassure me, but I'll take it. Have fun.

What if I add that I'm going with one of my step-siblings?

All I can say is don't hurt him in the progress.

We're not gonna hurt each other... we're gonna beat up some monsters instead!

Sounds like a good way to relieve stress then!

I thought you might like the sound of it that way.
