The reality of the situation was not entirely unfamiliar to Effie, since it resembled how her Supreme Memory, the Black Beast Locket, functioned — albeit on a far grander scale. The space within the locket was artificial, but the Soul Garden was entirely real… it just existed inside her soul.
What did it mean for Effie?
In the future, it meant that she would be able to shelter an entire nation inside herself.
'Would that make me… like, a Great Citadel?'
There would be Bastion, Ravenheart, the Night Garden, NQSC… and Effie?
'I do have some outstanding Components, if I do say so myself...'

On top of everything, residing in her Soul Garden would be much safer than living anywhere else in the Dream Realm, since no ordinary Nightmare Creature could get in.
'So, what? One day, some guy would be asked where he's from, and he'll say — oh, I'm from Effie!'
Her expression became strange.
