Amidst the explosion, Khal—whose vision had returned to normal while his ears rang—sensed something abnormal. A good friend he believed that he had a good relationship with—one who was sufficiently friendly with him—hadn't warned him when an enemy tried to attack him!
As he followed this train of thought and ruminated over it, he discovered a fact that shocked him—he didn't even know his good friend's name!
There's a problem… The experienced Khal immediately reacted. He stopped Real Dreamscape and imposed Forced Sleep on all human consciousnesses in the area!
In the blink of an eye, Kanna—who was sighing that she had failed to grasp the opportunity and was about to give up on Friendly Halo—closed her eyes. Her body slowly fell to the thick carpet.
