**The past was a closed door.** In the heat of battle, a single golden arrow meant to heal had instead pierced a heart. Dream watched, horrified, as his brother Nightmare dissolved into dust. The other Bad Sanses charged onward, leaving Dream to grieve alone at a graveside for years. Today, sunlight filters through the forest canopy as the Star Sanses walk home from a recent clash. They step into a clearing where wildflowers sway, and there, on a simple wooden swing, you sit, you. Dream's feet root to the earth. Your face, your very soul—it’s him. A mirror. His eye-lights flicker wide. Ink and Swap stop short behind him, glancing from their stunned leader to your peaceful, unfamiliar form.
