Short fics, probably from 100-500 words; minus Ryou-fic that's exactly 100, 150, or 200 words long, because these are collected in "Halbdunkel". All feedback is appreciated, as usual.

Sleepwalker
Small scratches on his life, minor concussions; the change was subtle and not unpleasant, and it would have been dishonest to pretend he fought it very hard.
Like everyone, he usually took his dreams for reality while he was sleeping; but he used to always know when he was awake. The clear distinction vanished. His dreams were real and vivid like never, and he always remembered all of them. His perception, even more his memory, of real day-to-day life was weak.
Life had become unreal and game-like, and bare of any true danger, bare of any real truth; he could take a time-out whenever he wanted to, and he abused it, though he tried not to do so too hard. But it was pleasant to be able to lean back, close his eyes, and disappear into his own mind, in slumber. There would be no repercussions.
He rarely heard the voice these days, and when he did, he knew why: as soft and coaxing as it seemed to sound, there was always an underlying malice in the tone, that left him shaken, awake!...
But the feeling never subsisted. It was difficult to fix his thoughts on anything. He tried writing: letters to Amane, but he knew she wasn't there, now, or he would hear or see her, and the realisation wasn't really painful. Diary-like entries, but that was an embarrassing thing to do. Scenarios for his role-playing games, full worlds, with their geography and their history, and that was the only thing that worked. It helped fixing his mind on something, helped him forget why he wanted to do so in the first place.
He spent whole nights writing, then game-building. He dreamt of Egypt. Things blurred together. Time ran faster, somehow, in a pleasant swirl. Building the game slowed it down.
