Stress is one of the reasons that people might search relief in their dreams. It's not surprising for someone to wake up rested and not be worried about a single thing. That kind of vision is also called a healing dream, although the name relaxing would be more fitting. One day Renko recalled something from her slumber, after waking up. While she was asleep, she found herself in peaceful desolated mountain scenery. She decided to take for a stretch, and ran along the path. It was confronting for her, as it made her forget about all the problems she was having in her life recently. Additionally, she figured that most of her of dreams lately where about running or jogging in recreation. That gave her an idea, to try it out in reality. She picked her phone and called her friend to invite her as well. When the subject of the date was decided both girls were anticipating their meeting.

As usual, it was Renko who arrived late. Marry was already waiting for her, dressed in a tracksuit. Her friend was a little more prepared, as she appeared in wearing full jogging attire. Her aerodynamic shorts and shirt looked very professional. They were not only design to absorb sweat, but also reduce the air resistance while running. Marry was a little surprised, and a little envy, since she never knew that her friend was that into sports. Renko a little shyly replied that it was her first time doing outdoor exercises in a long time. She just recently acquired this outfit by her own means, because she got a sudden urge to become more active. Both girls started with a small warm up stretches, and began their trot. They were starting slow, since there was a long path awaiting them. Renko took the lead, with Marry following her. She kept her mediocre speed, to save up her energy for later. However her friend, that wasn't build for endurance, started to push her tiny legs just to keep up with the pace. Back in the day, she remembered the P.A. being a drag for her. As much as she tried, she was never the top of her class. Renko, on the other hand, had never considered having extra gymnastics, but as she grew older, she realised that it is actually important to keep your own physique in check on usual basis. However, working out actually helped her thinking, releasing her from the pressure and calming her tired mind. Exercising helped the blood circulating in her body, as well as her logic solving ability and self-confidence was boosted. Did it had the same effect as the dreams her friend was having, she wondered. Curiously, as she kept running, she deliberated if Marry would enjoy aerobics more than her strange nocturnal travels.

As both girls were panting from exhaustion, they finally entered the part of the park which their path led through. It was sure a pleasant change of freshly photosynthesised air. However, as they looked at each other, Marry wasn't feeling too good. Her condition was worsening, as her lungs refused to participate any longer in the run. Her legs were stopping, as her larynx started choking on its own. She faced the pavement, rested her hands on her thighs, and kept catching whatever breath she still could. Renko, looking at her fatigued friend offered her a break, but didn't get any reaction back. Hence why she closed on her, took a bottle of refreshing water, and pushed it inside of Marry's mouth. The girl took the nudge and started sipping it empty. Then, as she released a sound of relief, her senses returned to her body. However, she realised that her knees were exploding with pain, giving up on their own. She leaned over her friend's back, with her hands clenching over her fellow's neck and her head resting on her partner's shoulder. Then, she uttered a single word of sorry, as she appeared to be falling asleep from exhaustion. In return, Renko only reached her hands behind and gripped, holding her friend in such way that it would preventing her from falling over. Both girls decided it to cut it short and walked slowly towards home, since they already had enough exercising for today.

Returning home, Renko suggested to her friend that it would be smart to take a shower for her sweat. Even though Marry was too tired to perform that request, her friend threatened that if she didn't, she would go with her inside the bathroom. That urged her close the door on her partner, while taking the relaxing bath alone. The other girl was of course joking, she hoped while slightly blushing. Marry did take a while to leave, so Renko decided instead to flick some of the papers that were a part of her dream diary. She found that it was indeed true that she was having her relaxing visions a lot recently. However, one particular piece of art especially caught her curiosity. On it, there was a little girl that looked like a doll, or perhaps she resembled a plush. Whichever that was, it was the same person that she saw in her own strange dream. Renko was a little confused, but she figured out that this might have been simple misinterpretation of hers. However, as Marry arrived back at her room, she learned that it was indeed that person they both meet at that one night. Something told her that this person, whoever she was, was dangerous for her friend. She plead to her partner that she should avoid her, since she felt something suspicious coming out of the psychologist girl. Marry nodded, and reminded her that was also the case in the dream, as Renko indeed wanted to punch her for some reason. Whatever was the true meaning of that worry, both girls were clueless. It was an unsettling feeling that kept one of them pondering. The only logical explanation was that they were both having the same dream together at the same time, which is impossible. However, that was actually the truth for Marry, as she explained to her friend in detail. Even if Renko believed her friend, the mystery of the therapist from the dream was not to be resolved yet. The reason for that was because further study was only possible if they both slept near each other, which one of the members was reluctant to due the presence of the bizarre shrink.

Marry, the dream expert, was also pondering about this difficult problem. Since her slumber was different from every other human, she started to think that whoever she was seeing was a real person, just in another world. It was indeed incomprehensible, defining this riddle with magic. However, when she looked at this from the perspective of being cursed by DRD, then it would make sense that she was just delusional. Whichever was the truth her subjectivity alone wasn't enough to distinct it, hence why she wanted to invite her friend as well. Unfortunately, despite her best interest and efforts, Renko was strangely against going back into the unfathomable dream with her. It was her personal choice perhaps, that she wanted to avoid all contact with that world, and maybe there was even a greater merit behind it. On the other hand, Marry was reaching deeper into the therapy, which caused her confusion to clear. She was able to cope with the idea of simply enjoying the treatment without worrying about the problem if she was indeed able to travel between different worlds. Yet, the only result she reached so far was that she was a little more joyful and relaxed in her life, due the healing properties of the dreams. That's not exactly was she expected, but as longest it helped a little bit, she didn't mind. The mysterious girl on the other side seemed to care about her, even if she did not wanted to talk about what exactly was the therapy doing to her. All she could hear from her was that it supposed to clear her mind and realise her hidden desires. Marry decided to think about it for a moment. Perhaps it meant that in the future she would simply know what is the reality she truly wishes for and how to achieve it. However, there were still matters she did not understand yet, like the reason for strange scenes and unsettling eyes she saw. This whole pondering was useless in the end, as she simply needed to progress deeper into the dream world for the answer.

Marry was a mysterious character for the therapist girl, even though both of their goals were the same in the end. It was strange however, how she was able to bring items or people into her dream. That particular patient was clearly not a simple case of DRD to deal with, due to her ability. There was a need for extreme security measures and research, which fortunately would also contribute to her medical knowledge. The methods she employed had to be taken in consideration before injecting them into the therapy. However, since a slight turmoil was caused by the appearance of Renko inside the clinic and the dream of the patient, there was an extra need of developing security additions. Even though that did not change the the situation for Marry, her friend was now listed as a dangerous entity, which entry by the dream canal was forbidden. It also meant that if they would ever want to return to that world, they would have to assume a different path. Of course, those deliberations were only to be true on the notion that one of the girls truly travelled to the other side. Still that was impossible to determine from a subjective point of view.

Outside of the dream, both members of the secret society for ghost hunters enjoyed their time together, jogging on regular basis. It was indeed a strange way to perform club activities together, but those somehow disappeared. Marry, who didn't feel like spirit sealing for a long time, was lenient to initiate her friend to a operation. She enjoyed running though, even if her body was the main reason for her poor performance. In the end, it was her physical condition that stopped her from reaching a higher level of endurance. However, she didn't mind that hurdle, mostly because she enjoyed spending time with Renko. They tried to at least run two or three times per week, but they never did increase their tempo. It became more of a relaxing exercise, rather than stamina gaining. Both wondered if they ever are going to return to ghost hunting someday. Since Marry didn't have the will, her friend could not simply drag her in. Additionally, without clues from the strange dreams that were not appearing for a while, all of the spirits where free to do what they wanted. The reason behind that was known only to one of the members.
