Time to escalate, while she still had this gloomy girl in the dream! Carin reached down to take her hand, and giggled as she tried her best to move them both to the kitchen. "No better time to learn than now, ne?"
Oh, but how was she going to reach the counters...?
When next Tsumiko blinked, she was looking at an older Carin than before. Taller, more filled out. One much closer to her own physical age.
Smiling.

Tsumiko
Instead of a smile, a hug, or even indifference, Carin saw Tsumiko's eyes roll up into the back of her head, passing out. Her conciousness being temporarily snuffed out. The plesent fantasy faded into static as the girl woke up.
In the real world, Tsumiko's eyes had shot open, blood red, glowing. Curse-marks began slowly encroaching onto her skin like a parasite infesting her.
"Who the hell are you?" A completely different tone hissed out at her from Tsumiko's mouth. Harsher. Angrier. Bitter.
She was most certainly not talking to the girl known as Tsumiko anymore.
Aiden:
Carin
It was not the most abrupt transition Carin had ever experienced - dreamers waking had happened before. But this, this part was new, and the younger-again goddess flinched in shock at the sudden transformation. "Tsumiko...? No, you're one of the others from before."
She very carefully removed her hands from Tsumiko's hair, allowing the girl's head free reign on her little lap. Now that she looked at her, the similarities were... unnerving.
"My name is Carin. I've been protecting Tsumiko from her nightmare."
SINIB:
Sakura
"You're a liar. Why else would you take that despicable form!?!"
Sakura roared at Carin with unbridled fury. Her left fist slammed into the crumbling wall next to them, covering them in dust and vausing the old building to begin creaking under its own weight.
"Now. Answer me. Who are you?"
Aiden:
Carin
"... you consider yourself despicable?" Carin blinked in surprised, not at all intimidated by the show of force. She was more durable than a crumbly old building. Wait, that might wreck her shrine! That would be really annoying to put back together again. The young goddess shook her head, and held her hands up placatingly. "Whoa, whoa! I just told you, my name is Carin!"
And then she motioned to herself. "This is just how I look like! Sometimes I'm older in dreams, but this is just me! This is how my followers conceived me."

Sakura
Sakura ground her teeth together, glowing red eyes flashing at Carin. Curse marks slowly encroaching down her arms and legs,staining her fair skin black. Hair slowly turning white.
"You expect me to believe that you just so happen to have that form? I have experience with things like you!" A perfectly black void began to grow in her left palm, the girl panting, shivering in fear. "That you have no relation to me, and just happen to share my form?"
