Summary
Nightmare drew a dotted line with a blue marker, humming along (out of tune) to the 80s pop playing in the background. All of his focus was on the person before him, though a part of him felt amused at his fascination. "It's been a very long time since you've began taking things apart." That low, gravely voice stated.
"What do you mean?" He muttered back, careful not to disturb the blanket of peace over them both. Gloved hands cleaned off a scalpel with calm and steady attention.
"You began with machinery first, then moved onto creatures you rather disliked."
Nightmare smiled with a tinge of amusement, sardonic and wan. "You encouraged it. Now it's an obsession."
A scoff. "It's a hobby."

“Who are you?” He asks, and the thing pretending to be his brother smiles wider.
“I’m Dream.”
The worst part is that it’s the truth. The worst part is that he’s starting to believe it.

Summary
“Welcome home,” he says, and his voice sounds muffled. The breeze blows through the branches above them, and the apples sway. As Dream gets closer, he watches his shoulders stiffen and the cold ice spread further under the surface. Horror is visible on Dream’s face, and Nightmare knows that his brother already sees inside him. That there are fly eggs in his corpse, the cavity open for all to see.
