I'm sure Phantom derived no joy from having to beat you. But I'm glad you're both safe in the end.
[ "Kitty Boy" is a good man and he cares deeply, despite what his outer attitude may suggest. Trahearne can't imagine his friend willingly beating up an adolescent unless it was absolutely necessary.
The nightmare energy, it seems, was hard on both of them. ]

[ He had been the one warning Beat at the beginning, but it seems that wasn't enough. They'd both been as ready as they could have been, and yet they both fell victim. The regret, a wish he could have done more tugs at him.
The question gives him pause, and the writing stops for a moment, too. Is he okay?

To be honest, Beat, the illusion brought me elation like I'd never known in my life when it appeared to me. But when I realized it was nightmare using the face of someone dear to me against me, I felt sick. I don't think I've been able to shake the sick feeling since.
