Damian had a feeling the nightmare would do its best to erase his existence no matter if he spoke in front of Anthony or any other fake memory of a person in this nightmare.
One sentence. He had to say something in one sentence to Sam that would break this routine.
But what? And even more importantly — when?
By the fourth cycle, Damian confirmed that it was not just the beginning two seconds but the two seconds from when he opened his mouth and mentioned Sam's name. There was not a single change in the whole nightmare other than Sam's varied replies to his questions. Mostly, Sam always asked who he was.
The face and body of Ben Carter were working against him.
If he was in his real body, maybe Sam's memories would be strained a little to remember his familiar face. But who knew — maybe it was because of this very face and identity that this weird world of illusions the Demon Lord's skill had created could not recognize him and was failing to even control him.
