(Y/N) stepped off of the platform and onto the obsidian floor of the ceiling hanging cell. "Hello, Dream," they greeted him and came to a stop at the Nethterite blocks.

"What- how? I don't get it. How are you here? Why would he allow that?" The prisoner began asking the same question in different forms multiple times. Suddenly, the Netherite blocks separating the two sunk into the ground, and the lava began covering the cell's entrance again.

"It's nice to see you again too, Dream," (Y/N) said, ignoring his questions and stepping further into the cell, "So how has life been treating you? I heard you killed a child, how did that happen?"

"Hey, listen to me! Why, and how are you here?" Dream yelled at them, giving them the same ignorance they had given him before.

"Because I have nothing better to do, really," (Y/N) answered in a nonchalant tone before rolling their eyes and sitting down on the lectern in the corner of the room, "because I'm out of prison and count as a normal person with rights now, moron.

Why else would you think Sam would let me visit your sorry ass?" "Don't give me attitude- wait a second, you're what?" Dream yelped out when he processed what (Y/N) had just said.

"Yeah, Techno and Phil bailed me out because of 'family' and all that," (Y/N) explained. "Wha- I why would they do that? Family or not, you and Techno were on opposite sides in the war, and Phil doesn't even know you," Dream argued, still not really understanding the situation.

"I know, I know, it's some real crazy shit that I don't get either, but I assume it's because of Techno's prophecy of 'Pandora's Jar' and all that from however long ago," (Y/N) said and started to look around the room.

"His what?" Dream asked and now stepped closer to the lectern (Y/N) was sitting on. "Yeah, don't you remember? Even I heard about it.

I think it was somewhen in the middle of Pogtopia's war preparations when Techno had a dream about the future where a figure which was probably definitely me exploded a huge building which was definitely this prison and then walked away from it with a different figure," they told him the story that was going all around the Dream SMP as soon as Techno informed anyone about his vision.

"What does that have to do with them getting you out of here?" Dream asked, getting frustrated without getting a straight answer. "They think that by getting me out and 'rehabilitating' me, the so-called prophecy won't come true because apparently all of Technoblade's more vivid dreams have come true in the past if they hadn't done anything to prevent them.

And because I know about this and also know why I came here, I know that I will now make you an offer that you won't refuse," they said with a winning grin on their face.

"So you came here to make me an offer?" The prisoner asked before catching on to what they meant, "And in return for helping you, I'll get out of here?"

"Exactly," (Y/N) responded. "And what do you want from me?" Dream now wanted to know, "I can't really do much right now." "Oh, it's really simple, don't worry," (Y/N) reassured him, "You just need to tell me where you keep the revive book that Schlatt gave to you."

The two turned silent for a moment. "You see, I can't do that. Not because I don't want to, but because I don't have it. I destroyed the revive book before I got locked up in here," Dream explained and now scratched his cheek under the scarred mask,
