( Jesper gets knocked back a few steps by the crowd, it seems like people are intentionally aiming for him as they run away, and it could be the dream is doing that on purpose. Attacking him to keep Nikolai sucked up into the nightmare he's experiencing. He has no idea what this actually is. He does know that Nikolai was the second son, so his father and brother would have had to die in order for him to ascend the throne. He just didn't expect ... this.)
Nikolai!
( More of the shadow creatures appear and he swears, stepping in front of Nikolai because he is, at heart, a protector. Of the Crows, of his loved ones. And Nikolai's in no state to fight for himself, not when all he seems focused on is getting to a young man on the floor. Jesper shoots fake bullets at the creatures and they are and aren't affected.)
