That's quite the ominous shadow. Could Neo be throwing a cacophony of red herrings at us before the actual nightmare is revealed?

Uh oh, Noah is still nosebleeding from spirit overusage.

Or maybe his spirit recovered a while ago and Noah's physical body is just that bad at closing wounds. xD

Noel knew all along, Noah, he didn't expect you to follow. He just wanted to show off.

@Zed
Cacophony is an odd noun for that.

What if the Nightmare is a Red Herring, though?
