"I can't think of a reason why anyone else would want to attack me in this specific way," Shen Yuan says quietly. "The, ah...'content' of the nightmares has been very personal. The kind of thing only my former student was think of saying or -- doing." He winces, recalling the way the dream Binghe had insisted on eye contact before cutting off his legs.

A horrible thought suddenly occurs to him. "Although someone I met here by the name of Wei Wuxian told me that this world sometimes likes to set challenges for us dimensional travelers, but I have no idea how you'd test for that kind of thing or what kind of personal growth I'm supposed to derive from something like this..."

God, what a horrifying thought. What would be worse, getting dream-stalked by his fated tormentor, or subjected to open-ended challenges by the world itself? Doesn't he at least rate a tutorial level?? He wants to speak to the manager!
