He makes sure to ring up Kieran, it was a Tuesday and the Head Beta has been working from home.
He needed someone to watch over Dream for him, there was no telling if he would come back and find the Omega gone, Dream could definitely do that.
He also didn't want to call anyone else, anyone else would skin him alive before he even had a chance to explain or fix things.
He could sense Keiran going chilly on the other end of the call and he's starting to wonder if he hadn't miscalculated because Kieran was starting to come off like he might just skin him alive too.
It was hard enough explaining things to Shana when he woke up after Dream had knocked him out, he hadn't even considered calling her or Mae, they were scary.
He had no time to explain things to Kieran and that's not just because he's on a time limit with his bothersome parent but also because he has no fucking idea what went wrong, he just woke up to no Dream and it had been that way ever since.
