He automatically reaches out to accept the key, although his mind begins working away quickly. Man with the butterfly mask? But that would have to be--

"Wait-- You've met Philemon?" This time his words are hasty. Suddenly, this dream seems so much more important than before. Pity he only realized it once his time was nearly up.

The last thing he will remember before waking up is the figure getting closer. It was still too hard to make out its details but...it was huge.

When he wakes up, the key will be in his hand, but unlike everyone else who had dreams this week, a feeling of calmness will overwhelm him for a few seconds before leaving.
