[oversleep]

I avoid reality almost everyday.

_{[ Sunny repeats himself, a little surprised he's being open about this to Junpei. He's been surprising himself a lot lately-- maybe there is something about this place trying to improve his character. ]}

Because reality is too cruel to live in.

[moondregs]

[ In his own way, Junpei had done the same thing. Back home he’d stopped going to school and spent as much time as possible watching movies. Becoming absorbed in them. Focusing on them.

He knew it couldn’t last forever. But at the time of his death he hadn’t made any plans for his adult life, pushing off that reality for as long as possible.

What is Sunny’s method? ]

How do you avoid it?

[oversleep]

I go to sleep as much as I can and I dream. My dreams are bright and colorful when I want them to be. They are full of happiness and are safe.

_{[ kid has a special imagination talent, and so: ]}

Sometimes I dream without even going to sleep.

[moondregs]

Ah, so ... you mean you use your imagination.

[ He doesn't stop with the head rubbing as they talk, finding it just as grounding for himself as it hopefully is for Sunny. ]

I don't think I'm creative enough for that.

[oversleep]

Sometimes I never want to leave it.

_{[ Mmm. Pets. There's some quiet purring. Sunny has just accepted he is going to wither away in his imagination, and that's fine by him. He just hopes it doesn't hurt when he actually dies. ]}

[moondregs]

Even here?

[ His tone remains neutral, just a question and not any sort of judgement. ]

[oversleep]

Especially here.

_{[ There's a lot of scary things here, expectations from others... pressure. He hates it, and it might hurt Junpei to hear it, but it's true. That doesn't mean he's ungrateful for his friends that he has made here, however. ]}
