[ Monika makes a small noise, offering a wincing smile. She seems embarrassed. ]

It's silly... I feel bad for making such a scene. I just have these, like ... recurring dreams. I mean, I guess you can call them nightmares. In them, I'm trapped, unable to move or even think... all that fills my mind is static and flashing colors, and all these screaming noises. It just goes on and on and on, until I finally wake up again.

What we all saw just ... reminded me of those dreams, really strongly. I never, ever thought I'd see something like that when I was awake.

[ Monika hides her face in her hands. ]

Seriously, I'm so embarrassed!
