Dream's End Come True display the following tropes.
- Don't Fear the Reaper: Mirage plays the role of a rather unconventional psychopomp for V2, as they (try to) help the machine come to terms with their death and purpose, or lack thereof.
- Four Is Death: V2 only has four hours worth of emergency power after their fatal encounter.
- Living on Borrowed Time: V2's emergency power gives them enough time to live for at least four more hours.
- Pietà Plagiarism: The final image of the comic shows Mirage cradling V2 as their final ounces of power drain away, in a manner very evocative of Pieta.
