POV Ben

Nina was right, we couldn't let Zach dream. We progress slowly through the forest to the school.

Noemy, can you check if Zach isn't dreaming? I ask my best friend. I'll keep our backs for a few moments, but we'd miss him more than that.

I don't think so. It's good enough that he doesn't talk to himself, but I can check.

You're still awake Nina I hope? I ask, without answer, what worries me. Nina?

No answer.

Will you check Nina too?

It's okay, neither of them is dreaming. But I'm not really sure that Zach is sleeping.

We're not too far from school anymore, Neven informs...
