Dez: character sheet · I Love My Evening Television

Dez is the hype Episode 2 runs on: fast, delighted, accurate about rockets and blind about people. He talks over the girl the first time she speaks, and thinks she is doing a bit. Then he hears "That was eleven days ago." and says nothing at all, for the only time in his life; then, quietly, the right question. Then he is back at full volume. It is not a redemption, and nobody pretends it is.

Ages at each episode come from the birth year and the episode's place on the axis, and are only as sure as the weaker of the two (their mark says which). Empty decades are drawn short, at the break marks. Dez on the whole timeline →

IdeaFor our own reference, his inner life: he is the loneliest person on the stream, and the Moon is the only place he can imagine a million people being happy together. {lore crew 2026-10-22} edit
