Hana had always liked them-- ferris wheels and amusement parks. They had always held some kind of magic for her as a child-- like a hot air balloon ride, she had speculated; though, much safer. Their many colours had captivated her, held her focus at the pinnacle of many daydreams. Although, never in real dreams.
She had always wondered why-- perhaps it was the fact that she was unable to dream of anything happy at night; simply for the reason that the dark, well, it scared her.
Maybe it was silly for it to, considering that it was only the lack of light, but it didn't change the fact that she was scared nonetheless. It didn't change the fact that it brought nightmares if she didn't have the tiniest smidgen of light by her side. It didn't change anything.
Even with the lamp at her bedside, the dreams were still uncomfortable. Black voids with nothing else there but her, a crowd of her friends and family that ignored her no matter how loud she screamed, an isolated tomb...Sure they had lessened in intensity once Sabitsuki had appeared, but they were still so...dark.
So then, how odd for this dream to consist of such a light-hearted thing.
Having seen Sabitsuki there as well, she had thought it a miracle, and immediately dragged her towards the overwhelmingly large ride-- almost just like the one she had ridden on as a wee imp.
While she might have been met with resistance from the other (and who wouldn't resist, given these random circumstances?), she had pushed on-- eventually persuading the reluctant girl to come with her.
Laughter, her own, had met with her ears the moment of the other's agreement; and again she had begun shortening the distance between that childhood ride and herself.
There had been no conductor, no manager-- but that had made it all the more dream-like, and thus, more fun. Instead of another faceless, unmemorable person setting the ride into go, it had simply started the moment she and her friend had sat down. The wheel had turned, raising them higher and higher until--
"We're stuck."
"Really, are you sure? I mean, it could only be-"
"It stopped and creaked right when we were at the top, I think we're stuck, Hana."
"...Sorry."
"Don't apologize."
"Sorry."
"..."
