Merlin doesn't reply, instead the dream just abruptly shifts, the flowery scenery being replaced with something else entirely. At first, it's just dark. Or perhaps more accurately, it seems that way, compared to the well-lit meadows before. In truth, it seems to be somewhere deep in a forest on a moonless night. The air is chilly, and the occasional breeze sets leaves to rustling and limbs to creaking. Not to mention the occasional call from an owl or sound of some unseen animal.

Or other, decidedly less natural and much more ominous sounds.

But, just when one might think all this is leading up to some terrifying nightmare, an... interface, of sorts? appears. Nearby objects that can be interacted with or examined a subtly highlighted, and investigating will quickly reveal various puzzles and clues that need to be solved to continue.

Yep, it's a dream of some sort of immersive puzzle game, with a horror theme. Have fun!
