More Karen Renford differences now vs before? I am lowkey kind of fascinated by it. Same with Peter? And do you have any headcanons about where Dex and Seb went? I loved their story so much
She stops dyeing her hair red and it's a pale, faded blond with a hint of coppery highlights to it. It starts to go a little silver at the roots.
Her wardrobe goes from strict, severe business suits to soft sweaters and loose linen pants, in soft shades of dusk, blush, sky blue. She forces Micheal to scrub the bloodstains out of the expensive fabrics.
For the first time, the boys see her barefoot. She regularly simply sits out in the garden reading under the shade of a large tree.
She will, on occasion, ask Micheal, Peter, or Marco their opinion. (She often immediately discounts Marco's opinion by replying with, "That's how I imagine a slut would feel about it.")
She is actually incredibly depressed by the loss of everything she worked so hard to achieve. Her life was filled with the possessions she surrounded herself with, and nearly all of it is now gone. Her idleness is in part a sadness she has no way to express because she has never felt it before.
Micheal is explicitly a gift for Peter to make him happy to live with her again. Although she doesn't actually tell Micheal that.
She attempts to force Peter and Micheal into an intimate relationship despite Micheal's lack of interest in men because Luke informs her of Peter's hopeless crush and she decides to fix that problem, which will of course make Peter even happier. Right?
Dex and Seb are both in different adjustment houses for a while. Each of them moves out of those houses and cuts contact entirely with Peter and Micheal within two years of freedom.
They purposefully made a decision to stop talking to Peter because they knew he would turn them in if Karen ever came for him, would give up their information.
Sebastian is in Canada working as a personal chef to a wealthy elderly couple, living in guest house on the property and dating a nice woman around his own age.
They keep in contact with each other.
