They Are Safe, Far Away From You

They are safe, far away from you

Sam: they aren't safe! Ardent needs his potions. He- what if something goes wrong with the chip? He needs me.

Sam?

The cell sits empty, its captive gone.

Hey Dream! Uh… maybe you shouldn’t leave Ardent alone! Especially with the thing that allows Sam to control him! Because wouldn’t you know it, Sam seems to be… missing…. From his cell….

Domino is crouched on the ground, Techno hovering over him. His eyes flutter shut. Techno roars and charges at Sam.

Ardent… Sam never loved you. To him you were his prisoner and whatever it took to keep you wrapped around his finger he did. Even if it meant lying to you and toying with your emotions. I hope you are starting therapy soon.

Ardent curls into a ball, blanket covering his head. "I know I know. I just. I actually felt all of that. No lying to myself. I was happy. I was actually happy."

Believing him about what? I want to understand

Sam: That I'm some kind of monster!
