Councillor hologram: Can you think of anything you may have done which could have annoyed the human?

Alien: Nothing. We've been getting along very well for as long as we've known each other.

Councillor hologram: Perhaps you did something without meaning to. Talk me through the events which occurred prior to the human being angry. Maybe I will be able to detect where a possible mistake occurred.

Alien: everything was normal. I woke up, prepared breakfast. My human awoke, we talked, and suddenly they seemed angry at me.

Councillor hologram: perhaps it was something that was said. What did you talk about?

Alien *shrugging*: I didn't say much, they were the ones doing most of the talking. They were telling me about an unusual REM induced vision they experienced.

Councillor: humans call them "dreams."

Alien*nods*: Yeah, that's the word. Well, apparently, they dreamt that the two of us were getting prepared for a space-walk. Then the version of me in the dream told them something like, "I'm breaking up with you." And then proceeded to push them out of the airlock before they could put in their EVA suit.

Councillor hologram: Apologise!

Alien: For what?

Councillor hologram: for what you did.

Alien *shocked*: but I didn't do anything.

Councillor hologram: but your human dreamed that you did. You need to apologise for it. Bring some of their favourite human treats. They will forgive you, in time. They will accept it was a dream, eventually. But first, you need to apologise.

Alien: but that doesn't make any logical sense.
