   Summary

   Dave Strider went missing and Karkat always believed he finally escaped his brother's torment, having run away to make a new life in California.

   Fifteen years later, Dave appears in the morgue, one of many cadavers lined up for Karkat to examine. He has no idea how he's going to get through this, but he has to. For Dave.

   But Dave has other plans.
