DwE: Dreaming with the Dead

DwE: Dreaming with the Dead (DwTD) is a visual short story set in the Elsaverse. It was announced on September 23, 2016, and released a few days into October as a Halloween special perk for Tora Production's supporters on Patreon. One year later, on October 14, 2017, DwTD was released publicly, and then ported to Ren'Py in 2021 to be included in the Elsaverse Omnibus Vol.1 bundle. The story takes place on a Halloween night, after Elsa and Jason started their love relationship; and, like DwE: Learning to Fly, offers some insight about their sexual life and true feelings.

Plot
DwtD starts with Jason and Elsa desperately running into an alley, chased by a zombie horde, while Elsa cries about the world being doomed and them having been left behind to die. Using his shotgun, Jason manages to free her when she's grabbed by a zombie, and then both find a safehouse. After inspecting it, Jason tries to confort Elsa by saying they are now safe and have enough supplies to survive for a while, but she's still agitated and asks him to promise her something: he won't let Elsa to become one of those zombies. Understanding what's she actually asking him to do, Jason reluctantly agrees, and then Elsa begs him to make love to her like it's the end of the world. He also agrees to do that, and they have raw, passionate sex on the dirty and smelly safehouse's bed.

As the scene is reaching its climax, Elsa is acting and sounding more and more crude. And then, after finishing, she tries to attack Jason, showing obvious signs of being infected. While stumbling towards him, she begs Jason to keep his word. With his hand shaking and tears in his eyes, Jason points her with his gun while apologizing to her. Then he bangs, and, at that very same moment, they wake up, and Elsa happily applauds his boyfriend for being able to pull the trigger to "save" her. It turns out that it was all a dream she had prepared as a Halloween surprise for him, who thought that the surprise she was preparing was just the sexy cat suit Elsa dressed for a costume Halloween party they had attended.
