This story is a sequel to Nightmare Remnant

It’s been two months since Starlight’s first friendship problem.

Although the mission was a success Starlight’s psyche was damaged due to a nightmare, but Twilight helped her recover and the two revealed their feelings for each other in the process. Since then, the two have started dating and they couldn’t be happier.

Shortly after returning home from a date, the map calls them to a remote town. At first glance it appears that the problem is obvious, but they soon learn that things go deeper than they thought.

Celestia and Luna have made up and Starlight Glimmer's first friendship mission was a success! However, not everything has turned out okay. Despite her best efforts and Luna's reassuring, Princess Celestia was unable to defeat Daybreaker in Starlight's nightmare and Starlight's psyche was damaged as a result.

Twilight, who blames herself, works to undo the damage and in the process, her true feelings make themselves known.

This is based off Luna’s statement about Starlight’s nightmare potentially harming her psyche. No idea why I’m writing this since I really didn’t like seeing Starlight suffer like that, especially when she broke down crying. And yet despite that I’m using it as the cover image. …Welp.

Note: Out of character behavior.
