When
Elliot regained consciousness, he found himself at the top of a cliff.
The wind was freezing.
Elliot was unable to do anything but wrap his arms around his knees. In order to withstand the cold and loneliness, he bit his lips hard. NiGHTS.......how could NiGHTS possibly be a Nightmaren?

NiGHTS' voice and feelings were cheerful as he answered. Elliot

have conquered fear. This deep darkness, it shows the fear that haunts
your heart. |
