it had been a joke, a dumb joke about how his path to penance and retribution could have a point system.

5 for minor acts that any normal person would see as manners.

15 for moderate acts that would be seen as going out of your way.

and 25 for good samaritan acts.

But he also added a fourth category, 50 points for heroine acts, like saving someone. Sure there was a negative points system too , especially if he killed someone. And you never truely realized how dedicated he became to this "structure".

All you can think about at that this moment, with dex writing in his journal all the things he did today and points he earned or lost, is that you should move out, hell, you should have moved the moment you found out who he really was, the vigilante Bullseye. But you always end up hesitating because the rent is cheap, and he, let's say, pays eighty percent of it and doesn't ask for much. This was a miracle for New York City.

And surprisingly, nothing bad has ever happened to you because of him, even though he mentioned several times in vulnerable moments that everyone around him ends up leaving him or getting hurt.

That's when you realized it's best not to even think about leaving, so thanks to all that, you now find yourself putting up with his antics.

"so what did you do today dex?" your words flitted through the apartment, he didn't answer for a time so you almost assumed he was ignoring you. At least your efforts to have him open up to you were brave and valiant.

"I.... i helped an old lady take her groceries to her car and i also beat up that guy you mentioned was harassing you last time we were at the supermarket." He recalled absentmindedly as he closed his journal and finally looked up at you.
