Has anyone here ever woken from a dream that...felt too long and too real, to the point where it MUST have happened?

Because for awhile, it truly seemed like I was back in my universe. But then I woke and
Well
I am still here. But I do not feel the same.

[PRIVATE TO: LANCE, PIDGE, KEITH.]

I must speak with you about what you went through before being brought here. Please remind me of what you remember last.

[ if lance were a more observant person (which isn't to say he isn't, just, in this moment if he had been) he probably would have noticed allura's tells. the little things like how this could maybe be a lot to take in, how maybe she's a little stressed, how this might be a great chance to kind of - you know - practice some tact and let her take it in at a moderate pace.

but lance has started to explain, and has gotten on a roll, and can't quite pull himself out of said explanation for long enough to notice. he'll probably feel bad about it, in a minutes or so, but for how he just plows on.

and then stops. like actually stops - frozen to his spot at the image of allura looking back at him with those wide, concerned eyes. did he say something wrong? he doesn't... ]

Wait... [ his expression drops with his arms (which had been kind of flailing around to help with the explanation), looking back to her with just as much confusion. ] Really? [ his voice is...smaller, but not small. like he's trying to take all of this in at once, nevermind the fact he'd just been the one who had just dumped all the info. ] You don't remember any of it? The fight, Zarkon's big Voltron-looking-thing...nothing?

[ there's a weird kind of feeling that comes over him, then. like a chill down the back of his neck. something is...off. ]

Why not? I mean- about Shiro disappearing. We all kind of disappeared and ended up here because some kind of universe-hopping mistake. Why wouldn't-

[ oh, well, that's....interesting. lance's eyes narrow a bit as he watches allura. ]

You want me to keep secrets from the other paladins? From Shiro?

[ he's not sure he agrees with this tbh. ]
