Finally acknowledge that something's off (15 Faith)

Keiko's disturbed expression had you thinking back to that conversation you had with Sopor... She'd talked about how some people were especially susceptible to hypnotism. They could be caught off guard. It wasn't just like sleep walking... they could be caught in a waking dream or waking nightmare, seeing everything around them as something that it wasn't. A world of illusion. Thinking back to it now made you begin to break out in a cold sweat...

You asked Keiko if you were dreaming.

"Yes, Katappashikara-dono... I believe that is likely," she answered, now looking concerned for you. "What are you seeing?"

You told her that you were in the dressing room, face-to-face with your priestess, discussing the outcome of the match she won.

"... The match has only just started," she explained. "Please try closing your eyes... Clear your mind... And then open your eyes again. It should be possible to see the world around you. Also, stop taking steps towards me!" the priestess urged you, clenching her teeth and backing up.

Shoot! You hadn't even noticed you were doing it!

You remembered the rules of the Kami Kurabe... if you touch your priestess, you break Monopoly's rules. If you break Monopoly's rules, you lose! This wasn't funny any more... you needed to wake up. Feeling yourself sweating all over, you blinked again and again, trying to wipe away the illusion. Finally, you managed to break free. As you opened your eyes again from what felt like your hundredth consecutive blink, you found yourself somewhere else entirely, away from the priestess room.
