can i just choke on my dying noises here?

Mana being so paranoid he is haunted even his dreams is bad enough, but Hoshino had the audacity to draw Allen’s near erasure and Mana’s nightmare the Exact. Same. Way. 

They both awaken in the wheat field, Neah’s inner world (and supposedly Mana’s as well, as the two of them make up a whole and Neah said “this imagine burned into the heart of the Millennium Earl”), they both stand in the exact. Same. Spot. The exact. Same. Panel arrangement. Facing the Campbell manor and Cornelia, they both call out to the one closest to them, wondering where everyone was. and then their blood run cold when they realise they’re dreaming and what that exactly means: ‘death’ is looming above them and it’s only a matter of time till their respective Grim Reaper catches up with them.
