Hypnos Hospital

There were two rumors about the University Hospital, weren't there?

Yes. The rumor of the cure-all medicine and that of the burning ward.

Let's see the burning ward first. The medicine might take a while to find.

I agree with Claude. Let's head for the burning ward.

Urgh. This is hot!

It looks like the rumor was true. But, this place...

Do you know something about it?

This is the place that burned down several years ago in the real world. I seem to remember it was a ward for advanced care that made use of special research.

......

But if it's burning like this, I don't really want to go inside.

Let's leave this until later and search the other wards first.

What is this? It's so quiet in here my ears are ringing.

It looks as if all these people are asleep standing.

Are they sleeping? It's a little creepy.

They don't look ready to wake up any time soon. Let's go to the fourth floor first.

Fourth floor?

Have you forgotten? Room 404. Where the entrance to the Dream World was. There must be something there.

Huh? Sorry, but I don't think we can go straight there.

What makes you think that, Mighty?

And, what are you doing here, anyway? Were you asleep?

Huh? *yawn* Morning. Nice to see you again.

Ahh, you're the guy I met at IDA School before. You always look so sleepy!

Ah ha ha, I can't deny that.

Anyway, I don't think you can go straight to the fourth floor.

You overheard us in your sleep?

But how do you know that?

Ah ha ha, I kinda get on with these guys. I can hear them speaking. I think I'm the only one who can...

You look so ordinary and yet you have such uncanny skills.

Well, I won't deny that either. But I'll help you get up there. I'm kinda interested in what's happening.

What an excellent proposal. We're counting on you, Mighty.

Right then, let's hear what all these sleepy folk have to say, shall we?

Hmm, the backup power doesn't look like it's going to activate as things stand.

What? But we got the key and everything!

Hear me out, will you? All that means is that the definition of backup power is different here to what it is in reality.

Different to reality? You don't mean?

But I do. It looks like memory fragments constitute the backup power here.

Different to reality?

Don't you remember Saki's precious memory fragments in her dream world?

Do you mean the things the child Saki was calling radiance?

Though their shapes may differ, memory fragments float around all Dream Worlds. And often, showing them to obstacles lets you break through. Was that not true in Saki's Dream World? They are like keys to open the doors to the dreamer's mind. Though I am still researching exactly how.

I see! We did get something radiant in this Dream World, too.

Yes, we did. And it looks like memory fragments constitute the backup power here.

Then as long as we have some of them, the doors and elevators'll work!

Exactly. If we do not have enough we can simply collect more.

Okay then, let's show it the memory fragments we have!

Backup power activated. All systems green. No faults detected.

Now we can get through the doors that were closed to us before.

All thanks to Mighty being here to talk to the sleeping people!

He truly is helpful. Even if he doesn't join IDEA we would certainly appreciate his cooperation.

I don't mind, if I'm not busy. Well, I'm usually busy finding a spot for my afternoon nap, though.

I thought he'd say that.

But, with things like this, I doubt we can get to the fourth floor straight away.

Now that we can use the elevator, let's take it and try somewhere new. The third floor was particularly strange, so there must be something there. We can rely on Mighty again if need be.

Leave it to me. In return, help me out the next time the teachers catch me napping.

He's a craft fellow. Now, let's take the elevator to the third floor.

Wait a moment, Aldo!

Huh?

I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to return now.

What?! Two Isukas? Is this another Dream World illusion?

It would appear so. But I wonder what the significance of this is.

Hmm, this is a surprise. You're my doppelganger. But you say I'm imitating you.

......

Well, we'll find out who is the imitation of whom, if we cross swords. Leave quietly, however, and we need not do anything so rash.

We cannot afford to do that. I'm afraid we'll have to push past.

This is one battle that interests me. Let's go, gentlemen.

...o... ...ldo! Aldo, wake up!

Urgh... Where am I? What happened?

Phew... You were out cold for a while.

That's strange... I'm sure we were in the University Hospital... It's like a dream. Um... are you Jade's sister?

Yes, I'm Saki. Thank you for your help.

Aldo, you're awake. It appears we were blasted back to the City Entrance.

By the way, Saki, why are you in this Dream World?

Umm, err... Something was bothering me. But now I'm here, I don't know what to do.

Is that so. It doesn't surprise me that you might be interested in a Dream World case.

I think you may need some time in a safe place to rest and gather your thoughts, Saki.

Yes...

Then return to the real world and go to the second floor of H Block. An IDEAlist will surely guide you to the appropriate place.

Yes...you're right. I do have a lot of things to think about.

Be careful, everyone. I'm going back now.

I'll take her. Don't worry, I'll be right back.

I'll take her. I was just thinking of going back myself.

Good. I'm counting on you.

Now, we've more or less completed our investigations into the two matters we set out to investigate.

We should go over what we've learned. There are a few more things we must investigate. Let us leave the Dream World and return to the IDEA Operations room for now.

Now for Aqua Hills. Based on what happened here, I'm expecting something strange.
