ok headcanon/theory that the reason the end is blocked off is bc dreamXD won't let people fully die. that's the reason limbo exists and is Like That. it was never supposed to be something you're stuck in long term, it was supposed to be something you pass through. bc XD finds mortals fun, he's not letting them actually pass through limbo so they can always be brought back with the revive book. it also parallels dream not letting tommy stay dead. limbo was supposed to be a stop between the end or the void or something but bc the end's been blocked off you just. stay in limbo unless someone brings you back to life.
