No Rain, No Rainbow - Chapter 4: Maze Green - Episode 3
Phoebe's charm brings Ladiva into the Gallery of Dreams, which connects all living people's dreams. Though she worries this is a violation of privacy, Ladiva ends up witnessing (Captain)'s dream. In that dream, loneliness over the absence of (Captain)'s father has a younger version of the captain in tears. Waking from the dream with her question answered, Ladiva sheds a tear of her own.
That night, while (Captain) and the others are away on a mission, Ladiva goes to sleep with Phoebe's charm under her pillow.
Ladiva: Zzz...
Ladiva: Oh... Where am I? I could have sworn I was asleep in bed...
Phoebe: Ladiva!
Ladiva: That sounded like Phoebe! I think it came from this direction...
Ladiva follows the sound of Phoebe's voice to a long row of small, wooden doors.
Ladiva: How strange. Nothing but doors. What are they all doing here?
Phoebe: Ladiva! Thank you for coming.
Ladiva: Phoebe! Meeting a friend in my dreams... It's like something out of a fairy tale!
Phoebe: Uh, well... This is a dream, but... it's also not.
Ladiva: A dream, but not a dream?
Phoebe: This is the Gallery of Dreams. There's a door here leading into the dreams of every person alive.
Phoebe: That charm I gave you brought your spirit out of your own dream and into the gallery.
Ladiva: I see! Your dream reading can do all this?
Phoebe: Yeah...
Morphe and Phoebe (Event) is a crew member
Phoebe: It's... one of my powers as Oneiros, the primal beast who governs dreams.
Phoebe: The same power that hurt (Captain) and the others...
Ladiva: Phoebe...
Phoebe: This time, I want to use it to help (Captain).
Phoebe: That's why we're here.
Ladiva: Don't worry, Phoebe. (Captain) and the others know you love them.
Ladiva: So please don't look so sad. Okay?
Phoebe: Thank you, Ladiva.
Ladiva: What's that? It sounds like... a small child crying.
The faint sound of an unhappy young voice has Ladiva reaching out instinctively to open the nearest door.
Ladiva: It leads to... a forest? I suppose anything is possible in a dream.
Ladiva: Whoever that is sounds so sad... I can't leave them alone.
Ladiva: Come on, Phoebe, we have to find them!
Phoebe: Okay!
Phoebe and Ladiva hurry into the woods beyond the door, seeking the owner of that forlorn voice.

Ladiva: Excuse me...
Ladiva is about to call out to the child when she notices a smaller figure near the stump.
Vyrn: Hey... C'mon, (Captain). Don't cry...
Ladiva: (Is that... Vyrn?)
Vyrn: When you cry like that, it makes me wanna cry too.
Vyrn: So please—cheer up! You know you'll always have me, no matter what!
Ladiva: (Does that mean... that child is our captain?)
Phoebe: Ladiva... The door you opened leads to (Captain)'s dreams.

Phoebe: Yes... (Captain) is dreaming this right now... And experiencing it as that child.
Phoebe: I thought if (Captain) was keeping feelings of sadness locked inside, they might show up in dreams.
Ladiva: That's true, but we still...
Phoebe: I know. It really isn't right to invade someone's dreams to find out what's bothering them.
Phoebe: But... I'm worried. (Captain) can't even open up to Lyria or Vyrn about this.
Phoebe: Holding in that kind of pain, dealing with it alone... It eats you up inside. I... I know.
Phoebe: If the same thing happened to (Captain), I just...
Ladiva: Phoebe...
Phoebe stands downcast, emotions on display with nowhere to hide. Ladiva reaches out to take her hand but is interrupted by Vyrn's voice.
Vyrn: I know, (Captain)... I know you're lonely without your dad...
Vyrn: It isn't just that? Are you mad that he left you here by yourself?
Vyrn: Yeah, I get that. It's his fault you're lonely. You got a right to be angry.
Vyrn: The more you care about someone, the madder they can make you, huh?
Yeah... Yeah.
Yeah... Yeah.
Vyrn: And you're mad at yourself for feelin' that way... I get it, (Captain). I really do. I'm your partner, so I know where you're comin' from!
Vyrn wipes away the tears that come rolling down (Captain)'s cheeks. There seems to be no end to them.
Ladiva: Oh, Captain...
Phoebe: Ah!
Unconsciously Ladiva moves forward to comfort the young captain, but before she can close the distance she is enveloped in a white light.
Ladiva: What's happening?
The forest, (Captain), and Vyrn melt away, and Ladiva opens her eyes in her own bed aboard the Grandcypher.
Ladiva: (Captain) must have woken up.
Ladiva: ...
Ladiva: I...
A tear rolls down Ladiva's cheek as she thinks of the pain casting its shadow over (Captain)'s heart.
