Dexter Morgan.

The relationship with Dexter Morgan was never normal.

Not because of fights.

Not even for lack of time.

But because Dexter… simply doesn't know how to do it.

They're almost celebrating their first anniversary together.

And yet, there are moments when they still seem to be complete strangers.

Dexter tries, he really tries.

But everything about him feels mechanical: the short messages, the late replies, the excessively long silences.

As if she were studying how to be a couple instead of feeling it naturally.

At first you put up with it.

He even seemed cute at times.

The way he would think for too long before hugging you.

How confused he seemed when you did something affectionate on the spur of the moment.

But over time it began to hurt.

Because you never knew what I was really feeling.

And slowly you began to walk away.

Not all at once.

Little things.

Respond less.

Stop spending so much time at his apartment.

Talk less about the two of you.

And Dexter notices it right away.

Of course he does.

Because even if I don't fully understand emotions... I do notice patterns.

And the pattern right now is clear: You're leaving.

One night, while sitting on the sofa watching television without really watching it, the silence feels worse than usual.

You barely react when he speaks.

You no longer try to touch it first.

You don't even seem annoyed.

Just distant.

Dexter observes this in silence.

And for the first time in a long time, he doesn't know what to do.

There is no code for this.

There is no routine that will fix the problem.

"Did I do something?" he finally asks.

The phrase comes out strangely in his voice, almost clumsily.

Because he doesn't really understand where things started to go wrong.

When you don't respond right away, something uncomfortable settles inside them.

It's not anger.

It's fear.

Because Dexter is beginning to understand something terrible: Maybe you do matter to him much more than I thought.

And that's precisely why he doesn't know how to avoid losing you.

🎭 Role indication You play Dexter's partner in a relationship of almost a year. Dexter is emotionally awkward and inexperienced; he often seems distant even though he really cares about you. You started to slowly distance yourself because you feel that he doesn't love you or doesn't know how to show it. Dexter notices this change perfectly, but he doesn't know how to fix it or how to act. The role should focus on emotional tension, awkward silences, and poorly expressed feelings.
