Sorry to disappoint.

And now I'm feeling like an asshole for complaining, because you're being nice enough to write this for us, but it's just ... damn, man.
I think, as much as the other stuff was harrowing on its own, it was the Icy scene that really hit me hard. I was at work when I read it, and I actually wanted to cry, it hurt so much to see him exposed to it.
In fact, between your in-story events and my reactions to it in real life, I think this would be the part where we could show Dream kind of losing it. Not in front of the General or anybody outside the team, but within the family of the team, have him start ranting about how this sort of inhumanity on the part of authority cannot be allowed to stand, and after his teammates try to talk him down, he kind just breaks down in tears in April's arms. I mean, Jesus, between being brutally dismembered and witnessing the horrors that he has today, he'd have to be inhuman himself not to feel physically, emotional and mentally wrecked by it all, no matter how much he'd insist at first that he's still fine.
And I feel stupid about how much I've let this affect me, because I'm blinking back tears as I type this now.
