For Elias, lucid dreaming was an escape, a vibrant second life where he commanded the very fabric of existence. But his control begins to unravel when the consequences of dream-death seep into waking reality. A beloved character perishes in a nightmare, only to vanish from his real life. A familiar street in his dreamscape crumbles and disappears from his city map. The lines between the subconscious and the tangible blur, and Elias discovers a horrifying truth: what dies in his dreams stays dead in reality, leaving behind chilling voids and an escalating sense of dread. As the casualties mount, each loss more profound than the last, Elias is forced to confront the terrifying power he wields and the irreversible damage it inflicts. In the end, he dies in his dream and realizes death itself is a dream that we can't wake up from again.
