I haven't dreamed since I was...two hundred. I just couldn't take it one day, and so I stopped. Every once in a while a dream gets through, but they're almost always nightmares.
Every night. Images of war, of blood, of fear. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't...so my mother taught me how to close the doors from the dreams. From the nightmares.

We're important too, you know. At least... I am. Sandalphon's a different kind, but in my world, I am.
