Hours had passed, but there was no sign of Dexter's return. Was he fooling me? I shouldn't trust anyone, especially in this strange place. After meeting Ray, a much different character than Uncle Ray, and Lex, who was like a demon possessing a human being, I realized that trusting others too early could backfire.
If he wasn't the Dexter I knew and came from the same world as me, there was no way he would remember details about our meeting. Evidently, Paula and the others recognized me as the other Ioris.
Kruuukk...
Ah... this was the first time I'd felt hunger. At a crucial time like this, I no longer had the energy to run if Dexter returned and asked me to run. Whatever the danger, wouldn't they be able to come later when I had already enjoyed a portion of food from Dexter earlier?
