Description Nepeta started to cry and move in her sleep. She couldn't take the dream playing in her head. It made her think of her and her love sleeping next to her.

DREAMSCAPE

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree,
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three,
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it seem,
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree,

I watched in horror at my love hanging in front of me. He hung from the post by cuffs on his wrist shaped like the Cancer symbol. My poor Signless was punished in front of my very eyes. It was there in that place where he died. Where I lost the person that meant the whole world to me.

I would be lost without him. Every second I sat there by heart broke more and more. Tears wouldn't stop falling down my face. I vowed to never forget him.

Are you, Are you,
Coming to the tree,
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee,
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it seem,
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree,

They gave me the leggings he was forced to wear whilst they killed him in front of my eyes. They told me to leave and not to return. I ran away, tears pouring down my face. I wrote his teachings for the whole world to see and remember. I would never let them forget what they did to my love. I would spread all the things he taught till the day I died.

END DREAMSCAPE

Nepeta awoke and check the body next to her to ensure she didn't wake him. She walked to her gallery. Tears rolled down her face as she ran her hand over the painting of The Signless and The Disciple on her wall. They were so happy together and then it was ruined.

Are you, Are you,
Coming to the tree,
Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free,
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it seem,
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree,

She sat against the wall and stared at the opposite wall. The wall was painted with a picture of The Disciple watching the death of her love. The tears running down The Disciple's face stood out with their light green color.

Nepeta couldn't help but imagine her in that position, watching Karkat die. She tried to hold it in but a sob escaped her. She lost all control and couldn't hold her emotions back anymore.

Are you, Are you,
Coming to the tree,
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me,
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it be,
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Karkat woke up and felt the spot next to him. Nepeta wasn't in bed. He sighed and got out of bed. He followed the hallway to the room the made up his girlfriend's gallery.

She sat against the wall sobbing. He walked over to her and circled her in a hug. Nepeta was surprised at first but then wrapped her around him. He sat there with her and hummed a tune. It calmed her down and she started to fall back asleep. As sleep found her she sang the last line to the song he was humming,

"If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree."
