The dream began with me driving to a practice cross country meet. However, I was running late, and so I showed up late. Coach didn’t really seem to care though. She just told me to run the practice 5k as per usual, and then to run two miles as a cool down. Two miles for a cool down is clearly a bit extra though, so I took it to be my punishment for not being on time. That said, I went ahead and ran the 5k, before leaving the running trail to run my two miles. I’d decided to run along the sidewalk of the nearby road. As I now found myself running beside the road, I soon noticed my friend Joana up ahead. She was frozen in place, and so I quickly caught up to her. I then asked her what was wrong, for this was very unusual behavior for her. All she could do in response though was point to the gas station beside us. So, following her hand, I now began to see what had her so distraught. The door to the building was left half open, and it was clear that a pool of blood was forming on the floor inside. Fear filled my body. However, I pushed it aside and walked forward. Peering through the opening, I then saw the lady the blood was spilling from. She was collapsed on the floor, and clearly dead. Some time passed and the cops showed up alongside a detective. I’m not sure who called 9-1-1 though, so my guess is that is was just Joana. Either way, Joana & I were then called into questioning. Joana was asked to talk with the cops in the parking lot. Meanwhile, I was called inside the gas station to talk with the detective, who was clearly Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs. I suppose it doesn’t matter what anime I watch, for my imagination will conjure up something interesting regardless. Anyways, Dazai began to ask me questions, and so I did my best to answer them. He also started to flirt with me too, and well, he’s a handsome character. So, I obviously had zero objections to it. That said, Dazai then asked me to walk with him, and so, together, we left the crime scene. We walked back down the sidewalk I’d came here on. We continued to chat too. It was mainly just Dazai asking me more questions, and me answering them though. Suddenly, we now found ourselves in front of a hotel. It looked normal, but there was something about it that gave me this weird feeling. Dazai seemed to feel it too. However, as I did earlier, he cast his fear aside and lead us forward. Walking inside though, we found no one at the reception desk. Still, we continued forward till we found ourselves in a hallway. Footsteps were then heard ahead. In response to this, Dazai resorted to grabbing my shoulders and pulling me against the wall with him. He whispered to me to follow his lead. In that instance, I suddenly understood everything. He already knew who the killer was, and I was part of his plan to catch them. So, putting my trust in Dazai, I gave him a look to suggest his plan was a go. Dazai then leaned into kiss me, and so I too went in for the kiss with him. It turned out to be quite good. That is, until we were rudely interrupted by a certain women. She coughed and told us to come with her, before whining on about how such activities are acceptable in the building, so long as they occur within the rooms. Dazai & I then faked our apology before following her. The lady, who I instantly clocked as the killer Dazai was after, now showed us to a room. Upon opening the door though, we found two completely naked women. It caught me so off guard; I did my best to hide it. Anyways, one of the ladies was in a tub, and the other was “taking care of herself” in a bedroom off to the side. When we came into the room though, both of them got up and came to greet us. The killer then closed the door, and the two ladies pulled us into the room toward the giant bed in the center. Now we were all making out with each other. The two naked ladies were slowly taking off our clothes too. However, there was still a mission at hand. One that had Dazai asking me if I was on birth control. Unsure of how to respond, I told him no, but that I’d just finished my period; meaning that I was mostly in the clear fertility wise. It was an answer ambiguous enough in nature to give him room to make whichever decision came next. With all that in mind, Dazai took the responsibility route and said “that’s not enough assurance. Allow me to go quickly fetch a rubber.” That said, Dazai then quickly put his clothes back on, and left the room; leaving me alone with the two women. Two women who told me they’d “take care of me” in the meantime. That meantime clearly being though, Dazai actually going off to catch the killer…
