Summary: Aphantasia: the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present.
Sunnydale is getting a shake-up. A new cop just rolled into town, Buffy's boyfriend left her, and, oh yeah, a predominantly demon-run business has been taken over by a human.
And not just any human either.
When Buffy and Giles are forced into a situation where they must protect the ones they maybe love, it turns out their newest enemy-former serial killer and current dream demon Freddy Krueger-has a history with Doctor Nancy Thompson, a psychology professor who singlehandedly defeated him on her own. And she's ready to do it again, no matter what it takes.
If only Ethan hadn't cast that stupid curse again and made it so any witch they knew was now their costume. Great.
