The Endless and the Burden of Ancient Mistakes
The Sandman Vol. 4: Season of Mists begins with a family reunion of the Endless-seven siblings embodying fundamental aspects of existence. Death arrives as a perky young woman dressed in black, followed by androgynous Desire with golden eyes, gray-skinned Despair with flesh-tearing rings, and Delirium with mismatched eyes and constantly changing hair. When Morpheus (Dream) finally arrives, tension fills the air. During this gathering, Desire provokes Dream by mentioning Nada, a former lover whom Dream condemned to Hell 10,000 years ago for rejecting him. Death confronts her brother about this cruelty with devastating simplicity: "You condemned her to Hell for ten thousand years, because she refused you?" This question pierces Dream's pride, forcing him to acknowledge his past mistake. Though these beings shape reality, they remain trapped in patterns as ancient as existence itself. Dream's realization sets the stage for everything that follows-a journey to Hell to right an ancient wrong, regardless of the dangers awaiting him there. When Dream arrives at Hell's gates prepared for confrontation with Lucifer Morningstar, he finds the infernal realm seemingly abandoned. When he finally encounters the fallen angel, Lucifer delivers a stunning announcement: "I've quit." He's closing Hell, releasing all denizens, and abdicating his throne. What follows is a masterful scene where Lucifer systematically locks every gate of Hell with Dream as witness. With each gate sealed, Lucifer visibly weakens, relinquishing the power that has defined him since his fall. In a moment of startling vulnerability, he asks Dream to cut off his wings-the last symbol of his angelic past. "You think I blame you, don't you?" Lucifer says. "I've had longer than you could imagine to plot revenge... But vengeance is hollow. All I ever wanted was freedom." In the final, stunning twist, Lucifer hands Dream the key to Hell-a massive, ornate key representing ownership of the infernal realm. "It's yours now. Perhaps it will destroy you, perhaps it won't. But it's no longer my concern."
