Just a Slight Calibration
There was a bit of a malfunction. Nothing to be too concerned over and would be fixed right away. One would hardly notice at all. After all, it only happened when you were asleep and dreaming. Nothing to worry about. It was just a hardly worth mentioning malfunction that opened your subconscious up to anyone dreaming or who could travel freely through dreams. With or without your permission. But, really now, who would do something like that? Don't even bother thinking about it.
Which is why Vash's mind is open for anyone interested in rummaging around up there. After all, how could a guy as happy and carefree as Vash have anything hiding around up there that would be interesting in taking a look at anyway?
There are so many rooms on entry. Way more than a normal human should have at the age Vash looks. Instead of the amount expected for roughly 30 years of life there's enough for over a 130 years.
Most rooms are covered in dirt and dust. The smell of gunpowder lingers all around. The doors here look like they were made from hand. Mostly pieces of misshapen scrap nailed together, a few wooden ones, even a few made from hard clay. All have names craved into them. Countless names. A few, however, do repeat. Wolfwood, Meryl, and Milly being the ones that seem to appear the most among others that repeat, but not nearly the same amount. The other name that appears often is Knives. Always painted in blood red.
Then there are others that have wanted posters tacked onto them. Surprisingly most actually feature Vash himself. Yet there are others for people with such creative names like Gasback, Brilliant Dynamites Neon, The Nebraska Family, and group of people that go by the titled The Gun-Ho-Guns. One name appears over and over in that group. Legato.
Then there are two doors. One simply labeled as July in the same fashion as the others. Then there a second door labeled Lost July. This one looks like some sort of wallpaper had covered the door that has has only just been recently ripped away. A bright light glow can be seen around the edges of the door. This same glow can be found behind another door labeled as Fifth Moon.
Then there is a small section of rooms down a side hall with the label Project SEEDS above all of them. The doors here appear much more advanced and the smell of gun smoke vanishes. They open with a electronic switch instead of a poorly made door knob. Almost as if they are from a space ship from science fiction. These have only a handful of names appearing on them: Rem, Knives, Joey, Brad, Steve, Mary, and Rowan. Except for Knives these names do not appear on the dusty doors. The final room labeled as: The Big Fall.
The biggest question is - which door do you try first?

He's seen how little Bill seems to know how a human body works. Granted, his body wasn't a human one, but it was close. Vash also wonders if Bill is telling the truth when it comes to being around when space began. If he was that's pretty old.
"Look, I understand you exists in dreams." He doesn't like the idea of someone coming into a place he can't be fully guarded, but compared to this it doesn't seem too bad anymore. "But this is different. These are my memories. I'd rather you leave."
As he has an inkling someone else is around here somewhere. Something just feels so off and unsettling to him at the moment. It's hard to focus.

Not true. He totally came in on his own. But blaming the Atroma works like ninety percent of the time around here.

Nah, Bill's just going to float along after Vash. His other two copies have plenty to do.

Vash will lead Bill towards a door. It doesn't actually say: Exit like a movie theater, but it's at the end of the line. Past the doors marked with logos of the Three Twins and ships of the fleet. "This one leads, well, I'd say into your own body and mind but I'm not really sure how your body works."

[Bill tips his hat and glides out backwards.
Or, this copy does, at least.]
