- Briar Rose: Thomas.
- Thomas: [mumbling to himself] I always woke up before. This can't be a dream. It's too real.
- Briar Rose: This realm is like a dream. One where we can both dwell.
- Thomas: You're in my head.
- Briar Rose: As you are in mine. I am also close to you in the physical world. That is the reason I'm awake.
- Thomas: Sleeping Beauty. That's what I called you before.
- Briar Rose: Briar Rose is my given name.
- Thomas: I like that. When you said you're close to me in the physical world, what do you mean?
- Briar Rose: I'm still asleep. Awaiting your kiss.
- Briar Rose: [far-off voice] Come to me...
- [he approaches slowly]
- Briar Rose: You're back.
- Thomas: Only in my dreams.
- Briar Rose: This realm is yours as much as it is mine.
- Thomas: What about in waking life?
- Briar Rose: You will be the one to set me free. You are lord of the land which I am cursed to. You may be mortal, Thomas, but in the physical realm you have great power. The Veiled Demon knows this.
- Thomas: The Veiled Demon? Is that what I saw yesterday?
- Briar Rose: She is merely an intruder on your domain. She is what made me flee. Until her curse is lifted, we can't truly be together.
- Linda: That was the last time he was seen. I am completely obsessed with this place. Every few years another person goes missing.
