Vali Among Emotion Eaters

Vali, lost and alone in dreaming, surrounded by Emotion Eaters [link] . They are usually not social creatures, but having lost the affections of Arezou (who found far greater a bond with another more exemplary creature of her own species) and no longer having a physical form to leave the dream realm with, he is quite alone and very strongly a target of their hunt. I don't know that there is any hope for him yet, he's much the worse for wear, but it is not the worst of what he has been through in his life. For now, he lingers.
