Oh, great. Just what I need. Another sleepwalking nightmare. The last time I dreamed about sunshine-and-roses, I nearly fell into the North Sea. But since I'm too close to finding out who I am to take any more creative detours, I'm going to have to postpone this little nightmare for a more convenient time, like, oh, say, never.

[ pause ]

Dimitri, Vladimir, if either of you can hear me, a pinch or cold water or something would be really nice right about now.

[ But when neither of her travel companions respond, she reluctantly flips open the invitation and skims it, still in a state of disbelief. Once she's finished, she anxiously rubs her forehead as she tries to take in what she's just read. ]

All of my needs will be met, huh? Well, I'd say I'm in need of a wake-up call.

All right. Any day now. And preferably before I do something like, oh, I don't know, walk off the top of the Eiffel Tower.

[ Anya instinctively turns around and sees the disembodied hand. ]

Ooor, on second thought, I think I would rather do the pinching on my own.

[ Determined not to show any visible panic, she attempts pinching herself, but to no avail. The hand is still there. ]

[She just giggles. The hand withdraws back to where it came from, and the portal widens to let through Yukari, holding her umbrella]

It wouldn't have worked anyway.

[ stops the pinching and rubs her sore arm ]

I figured as much. But I was still going to decline the Queen's invitation either way. I have a far more important meeting to go to later tonight.

Unfortunately, she will not allow any of us to leave.
