"Mom?" came a voice from behind Carla. Turning around, she saw that it her son Derek. But that made sense, right? This was a dream, so ... "Mom, how did I get here? I was in my bedroom, playing a video game, and then ... I was here. In this mansion."
Carla thought that what he was saying was odd. After all, it was the same thing she remembered about herself. But again, this was all a dream, so it made sense that he would have the same general experience as her, right? Since he was just part of her own subconscious. But as the seconds passed, the less this felt like a dream. Which made her wonder if maybe she was going crazy instead. After all, she had no better explanation for what was happening to her, and maybe also to her son.
But was Derek (who was now Derek McMillan, brother of Dani McMillan) generally the same boy he was before (an emo)? Or was he different now, now that he was part of a rich family?
