Dream was thrown into a game of life or death. Only one person could survive, only one person could come out of the bloodbath with their life. The rules were simple. Save yourself. Don't care for anyone. Don't die. But he couldn't follow the rules anymore. Because George was there, thrown into the arena just like him, set to die, or watch everyone die around him. And Dream couldn't let him die. Even if it meant sacrificing himself.
