Saving Grace- And the Pedagogy of Survival
"If I knew this all along, then I would've wish to know better"
Roxanne was just a mere high school student that was an outcast in her class. One night, she noticed herself trapped inside a nightmare which signified the start of her terrifying adventures. Unable to escape, she goes with the flow and sees where her dreams would bring her along. Alas, her luck had eventually run out, and her reveries became nightmares and reeled into her reality. Every pain she would feel will be carried once she was awake and aroused in her sleep. Every object she possessed before and after the scavenger hunt will return to her possession if she was still alive and escaped the phantasm that her mind had created.However, through time, she meets a peculiar man named Nicholas. He was a young professor, at the same age as her, that teaches the concept of dreams and their meanings. He stumbles upon the same town as her while providing free sessions about the conductivity of the brains of a human in the hope to find individuals that share the exact characteristics of having these nightmares and dreams. Unfortunately, things had gotten worse the moment she met this person but paired up and learn about the mysteries of their prowess together.Eventually, they would seek hidden entries and unlock puzzles that may or may not answer their queries as they proceed further to the dangers of their world. And most prominently survive until the end of the trial of the darkness enveloping in their minds.Frustrated, Roxanne could not save Nicholas from the terrors of the mighty beast that cornered them inside an unfamiliar labyrinth.

Exasperated, she gives her life up and throws her body at the towering cliff, from where Roxanne and Nicholas had first met inside the realm.Louise, a young man who had just undergone his first nightmare, notices the lifeless body of Roxanne floating in the nearby stream. Luckily, he could retrieve her body and carried her in the nearby cave. Suddenly, Roxanne, who was supposed to be deceased, suddenly sprawls back to life, with no wounds or injuries on her body.She was surprised and confused about the occurrence and pleaded to Louise to take her life once more at the identical place where she had descended. Roxanne finds her resolve and devotes her life to guide and teach him about survival in the world they presently live.Soon, their relationship develops, and both of them declare their love for each other.
