"My sibling, we of the Endless are the servants of the living, not their masters. We exist only because they know deep in their hearts that we exist. We do not manipulate them. If anything, they manipulate us. And you, and Despair, and even poor Delirium, would do well to remember that. Mess with me or mine again, and I shall forget you are family. Do you believe yourself strong enough to stand against me? Against Death? Against Destiny?"
"No."
"Remember that next time you’re inspired to interfere in my affairs."
"Oh, poor Dream. I really got under your skin this time, didn’t I? Next time, I’ll draw blood."
