The group of Idia, Ortho, Leona, the prefect, Grim, Silver, Sebek, Deuce and Cater arrives in Ace’s dream, where they are on a private beach to celebrate moving on to the next grade and the prefect having become capable of moving freely between their own world and Twst.
Deuce tries to explain the situation to Ace but he does not believe him. Grim yells at Ace, nearly waking him up, but Ace resists.
Ace tells the others that if everyone in the world gets to live in a dream it is no different from reality, and it doesn’t matter.
Ace reveals that he just does not want to accept that he is in a dream, fight Malleus and risk his life.
Cater tells Ace he felt the same way during Riddle’s overblot and it was Ace who convinced him to stand and fight when all he could think of was to run away, repeating Ace’s encouragement back to him. Ace agrees to fight and wakes up.
They move to Trey’s dream where he is vice-housewarden at a Heartslabyul with a much larger kitchen and Chenya is Housewarden, not Riddle.
The dream versions of Deuce, Ace, Cater and Riddle are much larger than they are in reality and Leona explains that Trey’s conception of people having as much as they want go beyond what they had imagined and that, for Trey, it amounts to having it all, without limits or end.
The dream-versions of Ace and Deuce chase away the dream group while the dream-versions of Riddle and Cater begin to eat. Trey begins to remember, says that the way their eating is horrible, and wakes up.
They move to Riddle’s dream where Riddle hates rules, school and studying, and no one in his family is capable of using magic, including himself.
Riddle becomes enraged when Ortho says he wouldn’t want to be in a band with Riddle as leader, declaring that no one is allowed to leave the house, which Idia reveals is darkness designed to keep Riddle trapped in his dream and eliminate them for trying to wake him.
The living room floods with tea while dozens of arms try to drag them under. The group begins to shrink in size while it rains tears from an unseen Riddle crying that he wants to leave the house.
In the world of his own dream, Idia is visited by Malleus, while in Riddle’s dream Ortho loses contact with Idia.
Chenya guides the group to a deeper level of the dream: an alternate timeline where Trey did not save Ace on the day of the duel and now Ace, Deuce, Cater and Trey all obediently follow Riddle’s every order, to his delight.
Riddle says he is happy even if he is in a dream because he has been proven right and everyone respects, fears and loves him.
Riddle orders the darkness to attack the others and they break into groups, chased through the rose maze by dopplegangers of each other and captured one by one.
Ace’s unique magic manifests in time for him to use Riddle’s magic on Riddle himself, followed by Deuce using his own unique magic on Riddle, successfully waking him up.
The dream breaks down as Riddle’s happy ending is compromised and Riddle is met with the overblotted version of himself asking why no one will follow him. Riddle explains that the problem with them is that they do not listen to those around them, turning into his overblot form and defeating himself.
Riddle wakes up in his earlier dream and defeats the darkness that was impersonating his mother. The dream collapses again, dropping him into Idia’s bedroom.
Idia reveals that Malleus is outside the door, and if he enters it will be game over.
