Summary:
While Dream is imprisoned, Desire watches.
Desire watched their brother constantly during his captivity, their gaze not only filled with longing but crafted from its very essence. What was a dream for, if not to long for it, to hunger for it, to desire it beyond all else? What was Morpheus for, if not Desire’s own lustful wanting.
Trapped in that soap-bubble sphere of glass, Dream was like a bauble on the mantelpiece of a neighbor, a perfect jewel that Desire jealously longed to cradle in the palm of their hands, to slip between their lips and hold on their tongue like the most exquisite morsel.
