I did smell pine while I was dying this time.. I think it was what stopped the nightmare loop. [It had been so vivid. It had brough memories that proved the dream wasn't real, that this was real.. Of times that were playing in the woods around his house, of talking to Edgin next to a fire.

[He looks at both of them when asking.]
