As Michael held Noah by his neck, a mixture of emotions swirled inside him. He had always seen Noah as the Supreme Guardian whom he must defeat, but now he had learned that Noah was his own twin brother. The conflicting feelings made it difficult for him to hurt Noah, but the thought of Nightmare's little dragon and how he wasn't there to save Nightmare fueled Michael's anger. As he tightened his grip around Noah's neck, he wished that Noah was conscious and aware of what was happening. The memories of Nightmare's death and the pain it caused him gave him the strength to overlook any familial bonds he might have had with Noah.
Diana's heart pounded in her chest as she saw Michael's grip tighten around Noah's neck. She knew that if she didn't act fast, the worst could happen. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded with Michael to let Noah go.
"Please, Dean, let him go. He's your brother. Don't do this," she begged, her voice shaking with fear and emotion.
