Wow, what an interesting story plot - and these suprising shifts, just great! Also love the quotes at the beginning. There is also one from Yoko Ono "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." - Taking it quite literal fits pretty well to one of the discussion Echo and Aurora had in my version of the story, I think.
I am deeply impressed by your ability to create such an interesting, well thought plot in such a short time. Great job!
