(Leaving the Dream Docks...)

(The call of the Dream Docks was too intense for her to ignore. Daenerys finally gave into it - as everyone eventually does when they are summoned - and for three days she has lived - or dreamed - what awaits her. While she does succeed in her greatest goal, the sacrifice is far too much to bear. She awakens from her slumber with a sharp gasp, clutching her chest and struggling to her feet. The technicians must help her to the door and she drags in the fresh air as if she can't get enough of it. Should anyone walk by her or see her at a distance, they will find the Targaryen Queen - so proud, so noble - on her hands and knees, tears falling silently down her cheeks.)

(This is hard for her to do and her voice is a hoarse rasp when she speaks the words.)

If a man named Jon Snow finds his way here, I want to see him immediately.

(To kill him; to condemn him; to scream at him - she doesn't know. Her love is still there, but she is in agony. He had been the last straw to bring her shell crumbling down.)

Avoid the Dream Docks if you can.

[Her words don’t carry any light tones. Uai is at first I sure what has brought this about: Is there another threat, torturing citizens with their nightmares again? When she mentions the Dream Docks, he understands immediately. After all, Uai slept to his death months before.

He hesitates before reaching out with a video response.]

Just because you learned a future does not make it your present. Please don’t forget yourself.

(There is something wild in her eyes now; a grief that will never be quenched. She is beyond tears, beyond hope.)

All I worked for... All I dreamed... It was taken from me by the one I trusted the most.

...You went to the Dream Docks?

[He asks rather casually, though he's aware that the future one sees can be a tragic one.]

[ Jon Snow?... Dream Docks?...

What is happening? ]

Daenerys-san! Where are you?

[Takeru couldn't help but be a little concerned. Honestly, he didn't know her much but it didn't stop him from being concerned regardless.]

I will make sure to avoid it, but... I guess what you saw was really bad?

[While he's beginning to piece together what she might have seen, Uai isn't ready to jump to that morbid conclusion.]

Unless they erased you from history, you haven't lost everything. [There's a soft 'click' as he sets down a teapot he had been preparing. Uai looks off screen, then back at Daenerys.]

Are you still there? [The Dream Docks,] I can be there in about ten.

They might as well have. (History will remember a Mad Queen just like the Mad King and the people will rejoice to be rid of her.)

I haven't gone far from them. (Because her legs won't take her. She is too sick in mind and heart to make the journey to her home in Fayren.)

For three days. (Tragic doesn't cover it.) I'm free of them now.

Souji, I'd rather you not know any of it. (He is too bright - too sweet - to be touched by that horror.) I haven't traveled far from the Docks.

(He has a good heart - the sort of heart that she used to have.)

I failed... I thought I was victorious - at long last - and then it was taken away.

Hmm...

[He isn't sure what to say. He's curious about what happened, but he isn't sure if she'll want to talk about it.]

I wish I could say that you can use what you learned when you return to your world, but I'm not sure if that's the case...

No, it isn't the case. (She wraps an arm around herself, feeling cold.) I...died. I was murdered by someone I trusted the most.

[ He really is, but also has taken lives in a way that others would consider heartless. Neither of them know what they have done.

What she says wounds him as a friend. ] Why!?

I'll pick you up, if you let me.

(She doesn't want to hurt him, but either way it seems unavoidable. Her hands shake and she closes her eyes, breathing in slowly. Logically, she knows she can't make it home on her own.)

...alright. I will wait for you.

[ In his heart, he had a bad feeling about what she would say. Either way he wanted to meet her so there he goes, as fast as the wind, as much as his years of training could help him, finally having a glimpse of her at the distance. She really looked distressed and weak. ] Daenerys-san!! [ Hasty and sweaty, he runs to her and holds her arms trying not to let her fall. ]

(She had been in such a poor state when she woke that the technicians had to help her. But she had needed to get fresh air, to remind herself that she could breathe. His touch does steady her, but she can't meet his gaze.)

Souji... (The words "I will be okay" die on her tongue. Nothing is okay.)

[He frowns deeply. That would be a sad way to go. He can't help but try to rationalize why one would do such a thing.]

...Do you know why they did it?

[He expects that she doesn't...]

(Why. That question sticks out and she isn't sure she understands Jon's intentions. She remembers him talking about the dead; had he, in the end, agreed with Tyrion? With Varys? Was she just an obstacle to the throne for him?)

For the - (That doesn't fit, though. Jon had said over and over that he didn't want the Iron Throne.) He must have thought of me as a danger.

A danger...I suppose that makes sense, though I don't know why he'd think of you as a danger...

Who's Jon Snow? One of the enemies you mentioned before? Not that it matters in the end - if it comes down to it, I'll tear him apart.

[ She looks so different than she usually is: pale, exhausted... even demoralized since she doesn't dare to look at him. Her behavior worries him.

Despite that, his voice is gentle. ]

Dany... What happened? Where have you been?

(She is conflicted, struck by the knowledge that the only ones she could ever trust were brutally murdered before her. And now everything was for nothing.

The old nickname makes her eyes sting and her throat tighten.)

I went back to Westeros. I lost another son and a dear friend. He was shot down by scorpions aboard ships and she was beheaded before my eyes. I...went ahead with the plan to take King's Landing. I rode Drogon into battle, burning the Golden Company as they rose against us, but it...

It felt like a trap when they surrendered. It wasn't enough, Souji. Cersei was safe in the Red Keep and I couldn't bear it.

I...burned...everything. (The true of horror of that is perhaps beginning to sink in - not as triumph, but as regret.) I killed Cersei and the Iron Throne was mine. I begged... I pleaded... For Jon to be with me; to rule with me. He -

(Now she is shaking, tears falling fast and hard.)

- stabbed me in the heart instead. I felt myself die.

...an enemy? (Is that what he is now?) I loved him. I wanted him to rule with me. He gave me a knife in the chest instead.

I razed King's Landing to the ground. I killed thousands of people.

(All in the name of conquest. Daenerys's voice shakes; she realizes she has lost her way.)

[Qubine's curious expression darkens, suddenly looking at her like he doesn't recognize her.]

...That would definitely make you a danger. You hadn't struck me as a person who would do that. Was I mistaken? Or did something happen to make you lose yourself?
