Ghostbur isn’t there. Dream is.

As Jingyan’s approaching, he digs a hole; Tommy takes off all his armor (he has an iron chestplate, pants, and helmet) and throws it in automatically, without Dream saying anything.  

“Hello,” Dream says to Jingyan.

He's not going to let the unfortunate presence of Dream get in the way of his goal. "Tommy, have you seen Ghostbur recently? --and what is going on here?"

“I saw him the other day, before he left me. Like fucking everyone— whatever.” 

“Just a little ritual.” Dream puts down TNT on top of the hole. “Hey, Jingyan, do you have a flint and steel? I left mine at home.”

"--He never got back to L'Manberg."

"Why would I ever need to light fires, Dream?"

“Lighting portals. Cooking animals without a furnace. Detonating creepers. Lighting nether rack. Making a barrier between yourself and zombies. I dunno, lots of uses for a flint and steel.” Shrug. “Are you sure? I saw him in L’Manberg the other day. I guess I haven’t seen him there yesterday or today, but he definitely left here safely.”

"I'll go search for him later." Because everything about this is highly concerning, and there's a chance if he's around, Dream won't try to get away with as much.

“I hope he’s safe. —Tommy, do you have a flint and steel?”

"Why are we setting anything on fire here." (He knows, of course, but he wants to see if Dream is so shameless to say it out loud.)

“Yes, sorry, one sec—it’s fine, Jingyan, it’s just this thing he does—” Time to open and close chests. Oh, here’s a flint and steel.

He lights the TNT and watches it drop into the hole and explode. No more items for him. (He doesn’t step back from the explosion or hold up a shield. It looks like it hurts.)

"What is going on here?"

“It’s fine, Jingyan, he just, he has to get rid of my stuff ‘cause I’m exiled, right? Otherwise I could, I could try to fight him or escape. I wouldn’t, though, Dream, I wouldn’t fight you, you’re my friend.”

"The terms were exile, not exile with no equipment. And so what if he goes to another place that is not L'Manberg? He would still be exiled."

"He's exiled from the Greater Dream SMP, too."

"Which is still a lot of space."

Shrug. "Sure. Do you want to leave, Tommy?"

"N-no, I--Jingyan, all my stuff's here, man, and my nether portal, I don't want to leave again."

"In which case, concern about whether he would escape is irrelevant, because he has no desire to leave! What are you even doing here?" (He is approaching Dream, though he is maybe not as aware of that as he should be.)

"Concern about whether he would go back to L'Manberg. I'm here because I'm Tommy's friend. I'm the only one who visits him every day."

"And you're here purely out of the goodness of your own heart."

"Wh-- Jingyan, what are you saying? Dream's my friend! I told you before, remember?"

"That may be the case but-- he could certainly be doing a whole lot better."

"Jingyan, you're, you're new to the server. Trust me, this is necessary."

"Is it?" (Dream having personal space? Jingyan has never heard of it.)
