2D's decided to escape Plastic Beach. Murdoc isn't the man he once was, the man he once secretly loved, and he's decided to move on and leave him behind on his stupid rotting pile of garbage. Then he sees something he was not yet meant to see, and realizes that perhaps Murdoc hasn't changed that much after all. Maybe there's hope. {Cover art by "Kapu-alias-Dante" on deviantart!}
