Jon used to think the contract was the moment everything changed.
The decision.
The turning point.
The beginning.
But standing in his apartment, watching Gribbles waddle toward him like nothing in the world had shifted—
He realized something.
This didn’t start today.
It didn’t start with Atriya.
It didn’t start with the contract.
It started long before that.
In every moment he chose something that didn’t make sense.
The old rescue dog no one wanted.
The quiet rejection of everything he was supposed to want.
The constant pull toward something… different.
At the time, none of it felt important.
Just small decisions.
Instincts.
Preferences he couldn’t explain.
But now—
They didn’t feel random.
They felt connected.
Like pieces of something he hadn’t seen yet.
Jon glanced down at Gribbles, who was now happily chewing like nothing in existence mattered beyond that moment.
“Yeah,” he muttered.
Same urge.
Different scale.
Because whatever made him choose that dog…
Was the same thing that made him sign the contract.
And if that was true—
Then this wasn’t an accident.
