Trivia

 * The title of this story comes from A Nightmare to Remember by Dream Theater (Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony / I am endlessly falling, lost in this wonderful misery)
 * If Sven is to be believed, in this alternate reality, Janet and Hugo are married. Please imagine your own conclusion as to how this relationship even works.
 * In And Now for Something Completely Different, N.S.P mentions Lyall would make a great assistant to him. Guess what position Lyall has here.
 * While not the first story to contain myself, this is the first one to contain the reader, although this person's presence is only mentioned.
 * Scarlett expresessed fear that Jimmy O'James would come and get her in A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste, making it slightly amusing she ended up with Reilly O'James, who is presumably related to him.
 * Considering she is a Normie with no spectacular abilities, it is unknown if Reilly exists in Lissa's main Monster High canon.
 * Alfred, the Sweeper, was named after Bruse Wayne / Batman's butler Alfred Pennyworth. Likewise, Iris the Seer was named after Iris the cyclops from Ruby Gloom, as well as the part of the eye, the iris.
 * Am I still bitter about the trouble you caused? Well...maybe...
