Hanako: Eh?

Taking over nightmares was all the Twin Shadows needed to do in order to live, so Mystery started always visiting the Princess without telling End and Flower. They grew very close, Mystery would even help Princess Haruka with her real-life problems, giving her advice on what to do. They passed years meeting each other in secret, Mystery eventually introducing her to End and Flower via dreams, and Haruka was very happy with all of them, wanting to meet them in real life.

But the day of her arranged marriage was approaching, and she didn't want to tell her new friends. However, Mystery found out the day before during a stroll in the kingdom, hearing it from the citizens. He didn't know exactly why, but he didn't want that, and so didn't Flower and End, who didn't want to say goodbye to the Princess.

That night, Mystery left without Flower and End, confronting Haruka in her dream, about the marriage. He was genuinely worried about her well-being, and he didn't want her to end up with a person who didn't love her. Haruka just started crying, telling him she didn't want to leave her friends, because they were the ones who gave her a reason to look forward to the next day, instead of doing all her chores everyday without a purpose.

The Shadow told Haruka his real feelings, knowing they'd never met again, telling her how she changed his life and gave him a future to chase, wanting to be with her forever and how he always waited to meet her each day. He begged her to choose between them or the Kingdom, and right before the dream's end, he pulled her in a hug, trying to hide his tears, before quickly kissing her, and destroying the illusion, leaving her shocked as she opened her eyes in her bed.
