so i was just thinking about that kind of dorky but awful alarm that woke dirk up every morning in blackwing with AWAKE, AWAKE, YOU ARE AWAKE, and i’m not suggesting that they kept the same alarm system all that time since dirk’s original incarceration, but i am saying that the first thing we ever hear dirk say in s1, when patrick’s phonecall wakes him, is ‘yes, i’m awake, i’ve been awake’
