Karl, Dream, Foolish, Phil e Charlie can speak and understand many ancient and dead languages, being immortals (or, in Karl's case, being a Time Traveler)

They like to have secret conversations, and the others lives in fear of that conversations

Karl and Dream can also speak and write in Galactic, being their first language

I am thinking SO HARD about these two's dynamic (I was supposed to have a second piece with them harassing Dimitri but I'll spare him for now)

Back to thinking about Claire and Clive and their traumas born from the same tragedy yet entirely different

You ever think about the fact that Clive's parents were (almost) never directly mentioned ? Layton mentioned them for the backstory talk and that's all, objective "they are dead" statement. And the other time we heard about them was in the flashback. In both of these cases, they're only evoked to announce their death, nothing else. We never get to hear about them in present tense, Clive himself never speaks about them. They're just... Gone. They won't come back, not thanks to revenge, not as ghosts, not even in discussions. They're dead and they'll stay dead.

On the other hand, Claire is very much alive- or at least she looks like it. Even before we get to the Claire reveal, every character keeps her memory alive. Dimitri is doing this all for Claire, Layton is a living tribute to her, Don Paolo's character is linked to her choices. She's everywhere and haunting the narrative before we ever learn that she is literally haunting the narrative. She's corporeal enough to change things yet her time is up, so really how much change can she bring ? She is stuck in this transitory state where she doesn't get to live yet can't die and disappear either. Even if she were to die once and for all, most of our characters would still have her as a driving force. She is forced to influence this story far beyond her death.

I wonder how they got along. Clive for whom death is absence, it is forgotten family and empty homes, and Claire for whom death is life persisting, loud with memories and transcending feelings.

I've seen this headcanon before, but what if the prison wasn't for Tommy, but was for a certain Time Traveller?

Let's think about it, who could be a danger to Dream's plans if not someone who can go back and forth through time? What if Dream knew about his powers, and was at least worried about the implications that someone could go back in time and undo everything he had done?

And it's sadder if we add my headcanons about Time Duo, the friendship between Karl, an Time Traveller, and Dream, an immortal. A friend who looses his way and, in his fall from grace, tries to take out of the picture his once friend, in fear to loose the little power he has left, only to end up in the same prison he made to trap the other
