[BASILISK]

[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]

[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]

YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.

BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

[ disheveled and practically strung out on the sheer power flux of the last day, Sprezzatura immediately falls onto a bench. rakes her hands through her hair. the woman that had flickered into being under threat of Typhon's impossible form flickers out again, leaving her feeling oddly bereft.

now is the point that drives it home: this is all ending. today.

What... what does she mean, "reshape"? [ are we about to do Real Wizard Shit ] With—with our bonds?

[someone who hasn't been around for a minute is watching quietly from one of the stone benches, sitting very straight as he observes the other inhabitants of the greenhouse]

Sprezzatura wants the village to be a refuge—not a place where there is no failure, but rather a place that provides you both the solace and strength to pick up and start again in spite of it. New growth after the forest fire. In this sense, she would like to see all evidence of prison life scraped away: no more cell blocks. And for those whose lives have come to an end, she wants Reverie to be sanctuary, that they can either remain here indefinitely or pass through on their way to another life.

She wants to be able to come back, if she leaves it. She wants the promise of seeing those she might otherwise never see again. "We'll always have Reverie."

Typhon... has to fail. He will never stop unless he does, definitively, one final time. In no uncertain terms, she wants this to be his last failure. Maybe this isn't very sympathetic, but. What she can concede upon, though, is that what he did, he did out of an insane, angry, twisted version of love. So his final failure could be, perhaps, a peaceful one—to lose himself, as he once meant for everyone in Reverie to do, and in the release of his consciousness, maybe he can join his family, wherever they are, and meet his children again.

Dream wishes to grant Typhon the inspiration to approach "failure" from a different angle. To learn from his mistakes and find creative solutions to his problems; ways to save his family that do not include harming others nor stealing away their bodies and free will.

And to be inspired further by the bonds they have carved out for themselves in this place, the stories that bind them together. Proof that love and care for each other are more apt to lead to success through support than fail outright.

It really sucks, sometimes, to relive your worst memories, to have to see the parts of yourself that you keep locked away... But in a way... Many of them grew from it all, didn't they? Becca wants, like others in her team, for Typhon to understand that failure is not an end. It's a stepping stone.

And so, she wants this place to grant people the opportunity to look at their lives differently and to be able to feel gratitude even for all the times that things go to shit. And for this place to give them the grace to be able to switch gears, to start over, to keep allowing them to meet people who are so wholly different that it changes their lives entirely... Like she's gotten to. Like she's planning to. For those like her, who have no more life to return to, be allowed to keep this second chance they've gotten and be able to live it out, whether here or in a different world, or perhaps even have that freedom to move between different ones.

Wei Wuxian also wants the village to become a peaceful refuge, not a prison, and he wants it to be populated. Not just by whoever on the former teams wants to stay, or happens to pass back through later, but by the monsters themselves, given back bodies of their own and another shot at life. Where Typhon failed -- and he has failed, because he's not destroying anyone -- others might still succeed.

He throws his desires behind making Reverie a place its former prisoners can come back to, and travel to other worlds from if they wish. However, he also wishes for caveats: that people can do no harm to each while within Reverie, and that while people can find their way to Reverie from their worlds whenever they wish, they also can't move from it to another world unless they mean no harm to anyone in that other world. 'People' means anyone at all -- humans, monsters, and whatever lies in between. Failure to perpetuate a cycle of harm is, in itself, a success.

For Typhon, he wishes to give him what he inadverdently gave Wei Wuxian. Instead of death, perspective and reflection, the ability to see where he went wrong and what he could have done better, to not reduce everything to terms of 'monsters' and 'other,' but to see the shades of grey instead of just black and white. It's a second chance -- Typhon can live in Reverie with his revived children as he wishes -- but since he'd be bound by the same caveats, he couldn't go anywhere else until he'd dwelled on his failure and buried his resentments and hate. Fail and eventually perish stuck in the same rut, or fail and move on -- it's his choice.

[Lan Wangji's desires support those of the others: a sanctuary, a refuge, a crossroads, a place where thinking creatures of all kinds can walk freely embodied among each other and find what they need to grow. it's not so far from the opportunities for rehabilitation that the Warden had originally touted as their purpose, but without the imprisonment.

rather than a prison, Lan Wangji wishes instead that what he found most compelling about this place isn't lost: the hope of making another wish to help set things right. this has always been a realm where what you want most affects the world around you, and there's something Lan Wangji has always found powerful and purposeful about that. even if that doesn't remain in the same form as a suggestion box or a Universe card, he wants others to have an opportunity to create something new.

for Typhon and in some ways for Reverie as a whole, he hopes for acceptance of failure. he's not sure he actually believes failures can be fixed; you accept your failure, and then you live the life your failure has redefined. dying is the only other option. if Typhon or the other monsters or the other inhabitants of this place would rather rest than struggle with that, in this space beyond death, it is honestly without anger that Lan Wangji believes it's a valid option.

he hopes that a garden in a graveyard and a safe space created by a fragment of will in a borrowed rabbit skull mask can stay. and he hopes that the voice that offered this last chance to shape the world will be able to say, my desires matter instead of I cannot in the future, too.]

[you offer up your desires, the counterbalances to Typhon's emotions that swirl outside the greenhouse, distant but raw]

[and then. . . the glass begins to crack]

[this may seem worrying, but the bunny box's voice echoes in your head to soothe your concerns]

IT IS OKAY! DO NOT WORRY. YOUR POWER. . . IT IS ENOUGH. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND HOLD ON VERY VERY TIGHTLY!!

[and then, all around you, the greenhouse glass shatters, and your vision is engulfed in a warm, bright light]
