Five Things Dwight Does After the Duel:
5.) Tells Mose to send the Mennonite minister away and to get the shovels from the tool shed; they're going to have to fill in the graves by midnight or else they'll fill up with rainwater, and nobody wants a watery grave taking up space out on the back lawn…especially with the spring travel season coming up.
It just wouldn't look good on TripAdvisor.
4.) Drives aimlessly through the streets of Scranton. He scans through the radio stations, unable to find anything that fits as "driving music" for this particular adventure, eventually settling on the R.E.M. CD in his glove compartment. He blasts the music at full volume, ignoring the people who stare at his car at traffic lights, and he tries not to think about how her hair reminded him of wheat and gold and sunshine all wrapped into one tiny, tight-lipped package.
It's true what they say – everybody hurts. Sometimes.
3.) Ignores two calls from Angela, seven from Andy, and one from Jim and Pam, respectively. When Michael calls, he hesitates at first, but Dwight answers on the third ring and cheers for him when Michael tells him how David Wallace asked for his advice and no one else's.
The next morning, Pam hugs him in the hallway by Michael's office and tells him that she was worried when he didn't call her back. Angela frowns at them from behind the partition, and as he hugs Pam back he can't help but think let her be jealous.
2.) Reads Mose the seventh Harry Potter book from cover to cover after tucking him into bed. He does all the scary voices, acts out some of the battle scenes, and even after Mose falls asleep during the fifth chapter, Dwight keeps reading out loud. He forces himself to push away all thoughts of Angela when he reaches the part about Umbridge's cat patronus, but he can't help himself.
He sits on the porch and watches the stars when he finishes the book, wondering if there really is a world full of wizards and magic and a war between good and evil.
1.) Goes back to the office and digs the bobble-head out of his trash can. It hurts to look at it, and it's from her, but it's his and seriously: who else has ever had their likeness put on a bobble-head?
When he gets back to the farm, he puts it on the shelf in his Hall of Memories – right next to the porcelain cherub she left on his nightstand – and he shuts the door behind him.
