"An aspect of me on another world has perished in the past. I sensed it of course, as we are all interconnected and exist at the same time. And in this world, my sister Despair has died once. Those are my only experiences thus far with the Endless perishing and yet, of course, persisting." A pause and his lips pursed before he added reluctantly, "And one of my siblings abandoned his realm, so. He is as good as dead, in some sense." It wasn't even turning his back on his family that bothered Dream so much, as he could think of many good reasons to want nothing to do with his family. No, it was abandoning his realm that stuck in Dream's craw the most.
"You have met Death, you simply do not remember it. Everyone meets her at least twice. At birth, and then at their end." It was a quirk that Dream always found interesting, that nobody remembered that first meeting with his sister. Yet when they saw her again, they eventually realized they did know her, and knew who she was. "She is colorful in personality, if not attire. Out of all my siblings, she is the one people fear most and yet the most personable of us all." He was far more terrible than Death, he could say that for certainty.
