The famous song 'Mr Sandman' was actually written by Hob Gadling under the pseudonym of Pat Ballard and it's about Morpheus

Hob Gadling decided that death was a mug's game and that he wouldn't participate, thus beginning his immortality and his long friendship with a man he knows only as his "stranger." It only takes him four hundred years to realize he's in love. Surely, his "stranger" can't be denser than that. Or can he?

Man, it has been ages since I read this fantasy novel where a male character tugged on his earlobe as an accidental sign that he was attracted to someone (Wheel of Time, for the curious) and it’s not a gesture I think I’ve ever seen in the real world, quite possibly it’s regional, but I was suddenly and violently reminded of that little character detail when THIS MAN:

Hob Gadling in The Sandman started doing it while looking at Dream right after they (sort of) saved each other’s lives from those thugs. And if it IS a regional tell of finding someone attractive, then I’m going to venture to guess this gesture was a deliberate acting choice.

Which is to say I think we can pinpoint the EXACT second that Hob began to consciously or subconsciously have a crush on Dream with that little gesture above and I’m going to say it’s way too deliberate of a gesture to not be intentional.

She asks him to bear witness to people in the last moment of their lives and that something happens when you look closely at something. You begin to understand it. And I think that understanding is the first steps towards love. And I think when he has that pivotal transition, he thinks to himself, if I can feel this about these people after such a short space of time, what do I feel about a man who I’ve spent 600 years with? And so he returns to him and in the episode you’ll find out.
