DO AIZ WALLENSTEINS DREAM OF WHITE RABBITS?
Another dream.
Ever since meeting that adventurer boy, Aiz thought, she had been having more and more of them.
This night’s dream featured a young Aiz and a rabbit with pure white fur. The rabbit, however, was dressed a little oddly, wearing a yellow waistcoat and carrying a charming, little toy knife. It had big, round scarlet eyes and a pocket watch hanging around its neck, which it frequently observed with great distress, exclaiming “I’m late! I’m late!” while hopping along upright as fast as its two legs would carry it.
The young Aiz was about five years old, and at that age, she was such a terrible rascal that those who knew her today would hardly recognize her. She chased the white rabbit all over and finally managed to catch it in her tiny clutches.
The child, much heartened by her success, let out a cry of delight and hoisted the white rabbit up by its ears, gripping them tightly with both hands. The rabbit dangled helplessly, flailing its little arms and legs in a futile attempt to escape.
Watching this unfold, Aiz was understandably upset. She marched over to her younger self, tapped her hard on the shoulders, and said, “You can’t do that!”
The younger Aiz let out a sad whine as Aiz scooped up the white rabbit, holding its soft, fuzzy form in both arms. For a moment, an indescribable happiness washed over her, only to be broken when she finally noticed the expression the rabbit was making.
It was afraid.
Its big, round rubellite eyes quivered in their sockets, and it let out a terrified squeak. Aiz was shocked to have frightened it so, and while she was still taken aback, the white rabbit hopped out of her arms and bolted away.
Aiz stood there, frozen, while her younger self groaned, “Aww, you scared it off…” and shot her a rotten glare. Aiz was so mortified she couldn’t move a muscle.
“…A dream.”
The morning light shone between the curtains, rousing Aiz from slumber. Her dream had felt so real that she woke up drenched in sweat. She got out of bed and went to take a shower, guilt ridden over what she had seen.
Approximately ten days later, Aiz’s dream became reality.
