The man in the bone mask could sense the moment the "real" Jareth had stopped watching the crystal dream he had created for Sarah. He surmised the Goblin King was confident that the combination of her memory loss and his doppelganger's charms would leave Sarah so caught up in her fantasy she wouldn't try to escape the illusion.

The ballroom was frozen, stilled. Like mannequins capturing some eighteenth century scene in a wax museum the ménage of guests were fixed in place, frozen in expression. Eerily, even the candle flames in the myriad of chandeliers did not flicker.
"I stopped the stars for you, Sarah." The man whispered to no one as he moved past the inert dancers and advanced towards her suspended form.
