It all goes downhill so quickly.

If Onni were here, Reynir is sure he would tell him that he's being foolish. That that whole display - Ami's distraught shock, her transformation, her flight - was just a ruse to lure him somewhere, catch him off his guard. But he just can't bring himself to think that Ami is a malevolent spirit. He doesn't feel it, in his guts. And Reynir trusts his intuition. Especially here, in dreams.

So he doesn't consider it or hesitate to think out what his plan might be. When Ami runs away, he tears after her, long legs eating up the distance quickly. He doesn't pause even when the world shifts around them. He is used to these changes in scenery, in dreams, and barely spares a glance for the strange corridor. Just enough to confirm no obvious threats nearby.

"Ami, wait-!"

Reynir has no idea what is going on or why she sometimes looked like a human, and sometimes so alien. But he thinks that Ami seems like she understands. And like maybe it is a source of embarrassment or even shame for her. He hadn't meant to make her upset over her appearance. That is so not him. He'd reacted like she was a threat, forgetting how delightfully unusual the people in this place are, and now he regrets it.

"Ami, I'm sorry! Please, stop running!"
