Doubly So When Death Tells Him Of The Family Dinner.

Doubly so when Death tells him of the family dinner.

"We missed you, but we couldn't be arsed to come to your aid." -screams-

Does it break anyone else's heart when Lucienne tells dream he could ask his siblings for help retrieving his tools, tell them what happened to him over the last century... and Dream responds with,

"I am quite sure they know what happened to me. And not one of them came to my aid."

He looks so genuinely hurt. He feels abandoned and discarded. He was held captive for a century, confined to a small glass prison, so small he couldn't even stand up in it. And he was exposed, given no clothing, and was watched around the clock, never given a moments peace. And not ONE. not one of his siblings came to his rescue.

AND be it as it may, Dream may be an anthropomorphic personification of an all powerful being.. he may not NEED food. But in that one episode where death gets herself an apple, JUST for the pure joy and pleasure of tasting it... Dream was also deprived things like food or water in captivity.

So on top of all the trauma of captivity and being treated like less than a person, he ALSO thinks his siblings do not love or care for him. He thinks nobody mourned or missed him. Not one of his siblings even thought to come to his aid. That shit pisses me off. My heart breaks for him.
