The rest of the night had been a blur to Gabriel, even when he did remember some of the finer details.  Even so, everything was still quite fuzzy in his memory.  The one thing that stood out in his mind though was Tanner and Olivia.  For some reason, he just couldn't get either of them out of his head.  He shifted in his sleep, a worried expression growing on his face as he laid there.  He dreamed of titans...large, terrible beasts that rampaged through Shiganshina.  Despite the calm the boy expressed over the situation, he was never able to remain calm in his sleep.  That was when his true self showed.  His fears, his character, his hidden personality.  He was a coward, but that was what made him brave.  That was what made him join the military.  Even so, every time he looked upon the titans, he found himself unable to move.  He couldn't speak or yell out, even as he saw the two fending off titans.  He wanted to warn them that they were about to swarm them.  It was all too much for him, yet he couldn't shut his eyes.  As more and more of the other cadets began to pour in, he found that they too were being horded.  He was a team leader...so why couldn't he take charge?  Before he knew it, he found Reese standing beside him, yelling at him.  Strangely enough, he could not hear the words coming from his mouth.  All he could read was 'titans.'  Then...it got louder.  And louder.  And louder....until the whistle was blown and he heard the yelling from Reese about titans.

He quickly sat up, letting out a scream full of panic, the first time that he had shown any form of fear, and banged his head up against a metal bar.  He let out a loud groan of pain and held on to his forehead, falling back onto the bed as he held tightly.

These nightmares seemed to get worse with every passing day, especially when they were slowly nearing the end of their training with every passing minute.  He could barely stomach the thought of his nightmares and pushed them to the side, like he always did.  It was just too much.  He laid there for a few seconds, until he quickly pulled off the covers, wearing nothing up his undergarments and his shirt, and rushed outside into the snow, holding himself up against the side of the building, and threw up.  It was the first time he had done so since those nightmares had begun.  He felt like he was going to lose his entire stomach at this rate.

After he was done with this small episode, he quickly moved his face to a more calm one, heading back into the cabin, and looked up at Reese with a mellow expression on his face.  [color=007236]"Just forget about it..."[/color]  It was unclear if he meant this towards hurting Reese or about the episode that he had waking up, but it didn't matter to him.  He just didn't want to think about it right now.  His movements were slow and almost zombie-like as he got dressed and headed outside, swinging his coat around him without another word.  He should have said something to Tanner...but he just couldn't.  Not at that moment, especially with the dream still fresh in the subconscious part of his mind.  He wandered a little aimlessly through the snow until he reached the mess hall and sat down on a seat, staring down at the table.  He couldn't stomach to eat at the moment...he just needed to think for a second.
