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 shiftedโ
He realized something.
This didnโt start today.
It didnโt start with Atriya.
It didnโt start with the contract.
It started long before that.
In every moment he chose something that didnโt make sense.
The old rescue dog no one wanted.
The quiet rejection of everything he was supposed to want.
The constant pull toward somethingโฆ different.
At the time, none of it felt important.
Just small decisions.
Instincts.
Preferences he couldnโt explain.
But nowโ
They didnโt feel random.
They felt connected.
Like pieces of something he hadnโt seen yet.
Jon glanced down at Gribbles, who was now happily chewing like nothing in existence mattered beyond that moment.
โYeah,โ he muttered.
Same urge.
Different scale.
Because whatever made him choose that dogโฆ
Was the same thing that made him sign the contract.
And if that was trueโ
Then this wasnโt an accident.
