A wall of clouds disperses and out of it emerges a little girl who seems not much older than 8 years. The girl is wearing cute light pink pajamas and holding a stuffed bunny rabbit. She rubs her sleepy eyes and stares at me with half open red eyes.

「 Good evening, or is it night? Well, this is a dream so it doesn’t matter. 」

A voice like a bell rings out and yet it sounds like a surround sound speaker is blasting it directly into my head. The girl’s mouth doesn’t move one bit while the voice continues.

「 Rebecca Thornson. This is sudden but, I’ve brought you to this world because…because of something? I can’t remember. What was it? There was something important I needed you for, but I’m too sleepy to think of it. 」

The girl’s head begins to doze off and drip dangerously low.

「 Yeah, it’s probably not urgent. I should explain who I am, but it’s too much trouble. So just take a guess. 」

Me? The girl looks to me expecting a response.

「 Uh, are you an angel? 」

The girl shakes her head from one side to the other.

「 A god? 」

A shake no.

「 An alien? A spirit? 」

Another shake no.

「 This is taking too long. One more guess. 」

I think of any other beings that could invade dreams like this little girl when an answers pops into my head.

「 ...A devil? 」

Silence.

「 ...Ah, right. That’s what I am. 」

As if she just remembered, the girl affirms my words. Is she being serious or not? Why is a devil before me? I decide to move the conversation forward while trying to understand this girl.

「 Well you know my name, so what’s yours? 」

「 Me? Name...Eon. That’s it. 」

「 Did you just come up with that name? 」

「 ...Yeah. 」

I can’t tell if this girl is a simpleton or not. Either way, I should be careful and not underestimate her.

「 So, Eon, can you tell me anything about why I was brought here? Where is here anyways? 」

「 Hm, I don’t remember. Here is, just here. It’s been like that always. 」

「 Okay… Are you, my enemy? 」

「 ...Don’t think so. 」

「 Right. Hah, do you remember anything that might help me return to my world or get to relative safety? I mean, what does a devil need me for exactly? 」

「 Hm, too many questions. Well, just know that I brought you to this world for a reason. 」

「 And you showed up to tell me something, right? What was it? 」

「 Hmm...Oh yeah, don’t die. That’s it. 」

「 That’s it? Wait, does that mean my life is in danger? What should I do? 」

「 You should fight. 」

「 That’s easy to say, but I have no way to fight. 」

「 You do. What was it? Well, there should be a manual in...your bag. She should have put it in already. 」

「 There was such a thing in there? 」

「 That’s all I wanted to say, maybe. Then I’ll see you later. 」

「 Ah, OK. See ya. 」

Note: As someone pointed out, the dialogue is a bit confusing so names of speakers have been added.
