After his first few hours of freedom, Dex goes straight to the one place that had remained a fixed point in his fractured mind, your apartment. Instead, he finds a "For Rent" sign taped to the inside of the glass and a room that smells like industrial bleach instead of your perfume. He doesn't stalk; he wanders. He was the shadow you didn't know you had, the heartbeat you couldn't hear, finally back in your orbit. And he would never let you drift again.
