The air is warm and stagnant in the castle, but a cool breeze blowing past you will alert you to the fact that you've entered a new dream.
You're up on a hill, and the sound of crickets chirping suggests it must be summer. Apparently nearby, there is a pair of humans taking part in one of the great summer traditions. A tent is set up under the shade of a tree, with an elderly man tending the fire. He calls out into the cool evening air.
"Neil, the hot dogs will be ready soon!"
There's a rustle from a nearby bush, before a small child with a messy head of curls and thick glasses bursts out.
"Not Neil! I'm the mad scientist Dr. Watts!"
The old man laughs softly.
"Yes, yes, of course. But mad scientists need to eat too!"
Neil rushes over to a spot where a telescope is set up. "Fine! I'll be right there!"
He apparently isn't going to be 'right there', as he's now eagerly looking into the telescope, up at the array of stars.
B
The scene abruptly changes into the interior of a rustic cottage, perfectly in time with the slam of a door being thrown open. Watts is leaping down the stairs two at a time, desperate to get outside.
A woman's voice calls out to him in confusion. "Wait, where are you going?" Neil halts halfway through vaulting over the banister. His steps slow, still bringing him closer to the door, even as he clears his throat and attempts to sound calm.
"I... gotta go take a leak."
Without another word, he's out the door. Will you follow him?
