[...and his brother is COMPLETELY DEAD, died tragically and NOWHERE NEAR MAC ANU. For the most part, he's chill about his brother being gone, shuffled off of the mortal coil, not someone who he'd be running into in a few posts (in...some form) and just DEAD DEAD DEAD. Dirk had time to adjust to the fact that his brother was gone and they never had the chance to connect in any form and NEVER EVER would. He can't help but feel a little bit envious about how casually she mentioned that, yeah, her brother's here. He won't be knowing that feeling, haha.

It's completely different. It's a quiet little apartment on the ocean. Plenty of space for a guy to just chill with his thoughts. Nothing like this.
