@PassengerOfSand "You have. From the beginning to the end, you've always been just about the same. Maybe changing only a little on certain opinions."

Hob always came to mind. A man who Dream once raged at on the idea of being friends, only to placate later. Even the Endless changed.

"No, no. Clearly I'm not making you feel loved enough. I'll turn it all up to eleven from now on, just to make sure."

Her smile confirms this is neither a joke nor a drill. But VERY amusing to her.

Perhaps that is love.”

Mostly because it’s a simple word for such old dynamics.”

"That explains it." She nodded, knowingly - like that answered every follow-up question she had.

It did actually do that, but knowing Morpheus - well. No matter.

Your boss. Does he wear white, or black?"

"And Kristen didn't blame you. She was sad to reach her time, and that you were to walk the rest of your time alone."

Her voice was firmer - just a touch more curt, cutting him off ever so slightly as his anger directed at her. While his feelings were justified, she was, after —

— ever wonder what you could do if you just...shifted your attentions?"

Mortals were always curious creatures. Their reasons, what made them who they were, it was fascinating. Millions of them would live in her lifespan, but they were always different, in little and big ways.

Despite his passion, despite his shifting emotional state, Death did not move. She didn't look to berate him, nor to cut him down.

Amongst mortals, his actions outcast him - but it wasn't Death's place to decide morality for the living. She came to everyone, no matter —

"No, you'll die. The way it's written, you're not one of the immortal ones - especially not in your line of work. But, you won't die right 𝒏𝒐𝒘.

Of course, you'll still suffer. You might survive being set on fire, but that doesn't mean it won't horribly maim you."
