Summary
“An Endless?” Hob asks, softly, because it feels like a question that needs to be soft.
“That’s what we are,” Death responds, trying again for a small smile. “Me and D—”
“Don’t,” Hob interrupts, far stronger than he meant to, and Death looks surprised for as long as it takes him to get out, “Don’t, please. I-I want to hear it from him.”
Sympathy colors Death’s gaze even as Hob feels his face burn. Six hundred years, Hob thinks—he’ll be damned if he finds out his Stranger’s name from anyone but the odd man himself.

It's 1989 and Hob Gadling thinks he's been stood up. Death herself is kind enough to inform him otherwise—and, well, now Hob's got to bloody do something about it, doesn't he?

Summary
"There was a time when I would simply know," Dream says. "All of your imaginings, your dreams. I could sift through them and realize the ones most pleasing to me."
It's a heady thought, that kind of power. Yet Hob doesn't miss the way Dream phrases it. Hob's imaginings. Hob's dreams. Dream picking through them like a list of the only options available to him.
