One at a time they leave the spring to get dressed, and as Painter is being dressed, he faints. Eventually it moved on to utilizing the spirits, and produced hion buds near former settlements--locations where hion lines emerged from the ground. Only the refugees living on the outskirts of Torio survived to resettle the region over the centuries that followed.
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter: A Cosmere Novel
Yumi gets an impression that even if they survive the initial attack, the machine will continue sending nightmares until Kilahito is rubble. She exits the exhibit hall and enters the courtyard full of rubble, then begins to stack--letting loose with all of her skill. Back in Kilahito, six painters have now been wounded, and Tojin shouts that they cannot hold. The painters are running out of canvas and the ground is slick with paint. Nikaro urges them to continue because the city depends on them, and the battle cry "we are the Dreamwatch now" catches on. Nikaro then recognizes Liyun among the nightmares and gets an idea.
Worst. Ever. NOT a true twist. Juvenile writing and story,
One week later, in Painter's apartment, they watch the final episode of Seasons of Regret, which closes with a kiss--to Yumi's shock--and a sad ending. They discuss the ending as Yumi looks out through the window. When Nikaro suggests returning to practice, Yumi declares that she is tired of practicing and wishes to go hunting the stable nightmare. Painter tries to discourage her, and has been stalling for a while now, but she insists.
The same great story, but with British flavor
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is a fantasy novel written by American author Brandon Sanderson. It is part of the Cosmere fictional universe and the third book of Sanderson's "Secret Projects" Kickstarter campaign. It was exclusively released on July 1, 2023, by Dragonsteel Entertainment to Kickstarter backers. Painter stands alone at the western edge of Kilahito, waiting for the nightmares. He considers what Yumi would do, and realizes he has another option.
Hwanji
Yumi tries on a bra for the first time, followed by the blue dress. She is concerned that her shoulders are bare, but Akane included an additional cardigan-like top that she can wear. Yumi is enamored with the dress, and decides that she is comfortable having possessions that she likes.

It is, however, a satisfying pay-off novel for avid readers and fans. This is a gallery of interior art for Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. For more information about each piece, including transcripts of the text (when needed), check each file's individual page.
Entertaining, Imaginative Ride (and Read)
The large nightmare has lupine features and crouches over the boy, and Nikaro realizes that this one is almost fully stable and thus extremely dangerous. He begins to panic, but then hears the child sniffling and realizes the terrified child is awake. Instead of running for help, Painter extracts his supplies. The nightmare notices him and approaches, trying to work through the wall of the building, as he begins to paint.
Love at first sight
And yes, first-time readers of Brandon Sanderson or Cosmere will miss out on understanding the Cosmere terminologies and who Design is if they start here. But honestly, if the reader hasn’t read The Stormlight Archive yet, none of these actually count as spoilers. A relatively very minor spoiler, too, if we count some things I can’t say here. I’m caught up with all the Cosmere books, and the knowledge I had from reading The Stormlight Archive did not significantly enhance my reading experience of this one. Some readers will and have argued you must read up to Rhythm of War before reading Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. I understand the sentiment, but this is a bit crazy.

They proceed to the place of ritual to begin their daily practice. Nikaro and Yumi talk along the way about the apparent hion lines she witnessed in the tent, and Painter thinks this suggests they are on the verge of an industrial revolution. There are fewer onlookers than usual because the scholars' machine has been activated.
Yumi asks several questions via Nikaro, and Liyun admits the truth--though she believes Yumi's rebellion will be short-lived. They float together and Yumi tries to touch his hand, but once again is unable to make physical contact. After this she declares that she wants to do something "transgressive". Painter proposes to spy on the scholars and their machine, which is more serious than Yumi had imagined--but she considers and agrees. Nikaro and Yumi join Design in cleaning up the spilled soup so that they can talk briefly in private.
As I said, compromise and empathy are some of the main themes in Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. Also, if I’m not mistaken, the name Yumi is most likely inspired by Yuna in Final Fantasy X video game. Tidus, the other main character in Final Fantasy X, is a blitzball player. This is practically where Final Fantasy X came in as an inspiration for this novel.
The front half of the story drags along as Yumi and Painter alternate lives and try to understand one another. It’s the book equivalent of the “Spider-man pointing at himself” meme. The back half, when the mystery starts to come together, is where Sanderson characteristically kicks things into high gear.
