The reason the Endless didn't free him isn't because they weren't aware of the situation. but because they aren’t a superteam; rushing to the rescue isn’t what they’re about. The Endless stick to hoeing their own farms. As personifications of things, they're not causative. They're barely reactive. -Sandman Companion. | |

When the prisoner awakens, Burgess demands immortality, power, and a pledge against revenge as the conditions for the Sandman s release; but Dream refuses to even acknowledge Burgess’s existence. Instead, the Sandman maintains a stoic silence for the duration of his imprisonment in Burgess’s basement... which lasts seventy-two years. - Sandman Companion | |
