Ok, I’m about to send you down a rabbit hole: Have you seen Gaiman’s “Sandman”? If you have, you will know where I’m going with this. If you haven’t, well, watch it. You will know exactly what I’m referring to when you get to it. Wait for the cafe scene. And then get back to me with your thoughts! I haven’t read the book so I don’t know if the show is faithful, but … well … watch it.
