Still, there's a bitter taste in his mouth at her impassioned words, and he's pretty sure it's not from the dwindling shards of bergamot candy.]

You can't just wave your Sandglass at whatever's going on in somebody's life and expect it to be magically fixed. There's some things you gotta live with that you can't change, and it sucks. Not that it means you should give up everything here, but...
You gotta admit, sometimes life in the Dream Sphere is a lot more fun than the real world. It's no wonder some of them don't want to leave.
[Torments and Nightmares and Disturbances aside, of course... but even then, being able to actually fight back against these things makes it all the more satisfying than being able to do nothing about it at all.]
