Of course he's noticed the sudden strange behavior of the android. But he was too... Upset? Tired? Well, whatever the right word for it, he wasn't in the mood to figure out what was wrong with the android.

He was weary from all the lack of sleep, and he could pass out at any moment. It was truly funny, Karl would've lectured him about his poor sleeping schedule and habits that made him lose sleep. He missed it dearly.

He never really knew how much he yearned for Karl's caring scolding. Odd, yes, but it was endearing to know that he still had someone who cared about him.

It was a rare occurrence that Dream had requested for a day off, and instead of the usual lounging in his bed to get some night's sleep, he was sitting on the couch, wallowing in his own self-pity. He was too absorbed in his sadness that he didn't notice the melodic sounds that played in his head, which soothes him into falling into a well-deserved rest.

My answer,

was laughter

soft as I lowered my head

It was a rather peaceful day in the Detroit Police department, and Karl watched his partner with a curious gaze. He couldn't help but smile as he taps the desk with his pen, and get awfully distracted by the enticing scent of his own coffee.

"Didn't I tell you not to drink too much, detective?" He'd suppress his giggle, as the Detective continues to struggle on his work. Karl had warned him of his bad habits, and now it costed Dream of his energy and his efficiency in his work. 

And out of frustration and his impulsiveness, Dream had made a stupid bet with Karl-- if he could still work properly after drinking several cups of coffee, Karl would stop constantly nagging him about it. And if he loses, He'd have to reduce his coffee intake.

It was one of their better moments, even when Dream was still bitching towards Karl.

You're too late,

I'm afraid...

This flower's already dead.

He remembers all the time he could've had with Karl while he still had it, yet he had to give it all up. You never really know how precious something once was until you lose it.

When he woke up, the sun was setting.

Karl, who had been instructed to go into stasis, was still in his bedroom. He wishes that he had just stayed with him, to comfort him when he needed it the most. He just wanted a sign of deviancy, so he can make it up to him. But apparently, deviating took time and was much more difficult than he had anticipated.

If only he hadn't fallen in love with the android, maybe he wouldn't have been such a depressing mess of a human.
