A male teenager who is a criminology student at school always found it hard to make friends, and socialise effectively so he spends most his time outside of school deeply researching into famous murderers and what causes them to inflict pain upon others. He usually stays awake playing detective based games and reading detective novels. Due to being very isolate and introverted, he often talks to himself as the protagonist daydreams unless he's in his criminology class studying the patterns and the various murderers' who've had their brain activity monitored.
In his dreams, he starts to witness a murder from the killer's POV and so in is dreams he starts to conform to his alter ego in his own bubble. As the days go on he contemplates whether what he saw was real. Then a news reports shows the the murder actually happened with the exact same logistics as the dreams he's been having for the the week prior.
He instinctively takes it upon himself to investigate the murder within his dreams as he adopts the theory of detective. (To demonstrate its a dreams its in black and white, and the attire worn by the main character is significantly different as he wears stereotypical detective wear). After the murders occur, the protagonist becomes familiar with another murder scene which suggests the protagonist only has a week in the dream world to solve the murder before it's actually happened. His parents start to become weary as they are concerned for his well being even though the rarely speak. One morning his mom wakes him up before he figured out a clue which would've allowed him to solve the murder scene but before his next dream sequence, the murder occurs. This causes an argument between the parents and the protagonist as he screams that he was so close at stopping the murder and saving the victim. Confused and lost his teacher start to debate the sanity of his student. A week after the initial nightmare, the dream becomes a reality as a murder of the same nature, he then has a week of nightmares consisting of a different murder scene which is somehow linked but the protagonist doesn't know how until he solves the murders. The pressure and time restraint he has in each dream to solve the connection which will in tale stop the murder in reality, he starts to become dedicated to sleeping, and when he's awake he's clearly become the binary opposite of himself from the start as he has become not focused as he can't stop thinking about the dream world, so his realities start merging and becoming unclear.
