AN: Hey there, to anyone who hasn't noticed, yet. I am back. The first chapter of the second part of the Dreamers saga is online for some days now. I know it took me some time, but at least you had the Oneshot Nunatak for reading until I got a bit ahead in writing the sequel. So now after Dreamers Awake the triology continues with Dreamers Reflect and I hope you are still interested in how the story develops and for now the Senshis' past. I am already 150 pages into the story so I will try to reinstall my monthly update schedule.

On a side note, I am now solely restricted to home office, at least for the next month, due to Corona. There is actually only one good thing about it: I might have (next to working) also more time for writing. However, that is unfortunately the only positive aspect I can find in this whole mess.

Don't worry, I am fine and not infected (at least as far as I know), but with the number of infections increasing here in Germany faster than you can keep up, I expect a curfew latest on Sunday (which is well overdue in my opinion and should happen as soon as possible). I have seen people not keeping the required distances, teenagers, who still gather in groups as if nothing is wrong, probably thinking it's cool to be rebellious and elderly people, who just scoff at you, when you ask them to not come too close. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Please, for all that it's worth, stick to the restrictions, keep your 2 meter distances to other people and stay at home whenever possible. Other people are working their asses off just to keep things running (a friend of mine works 13h per day for weeks in a diagnostic lab just to do Corona tests) and for some it's just too much of a bother to keep some distance! How hard can that be? If it works at cashpoints, then at least that should not be a problem at all.

And for everyone living in a country, who is not as affected as much as we are now, please don't underestimate this virus! That's not me saying that I think our government did too much wrong. We are just too inexperienced in those matters and just acted way too slowly. We were naive and foolish enough to believe, it wouldn't become that bad and look, where we are now. Take this seriously and take whatever precautions you can to limit physical contact, for yourself, your beloved ones and everyone else. Don't be an egoistic and stubborn ass and consist on your routine luxuries just because you think it should be in your right to do so. Don't make the same mistakes we did, learn from them and act in an intelligent and considerate way to keep the outbreak under control, where you still can. Here, well we will see, but I am not very optimistic. We are now paying for our arrogance and it will get worse. That's a fact.

Sorry, if this just developed into another Corona sermon. Normally, I don't do political statements, but I just can't help myself. I am an infection biologist. It's my job to care.

The best of luck to all of you, wherever you are. Stay healthy.
