I called. Why wasn't anyone here?"- ElenaWe were here." Clay said. "Around, anyway. You should have left a message."I did. Two hours ago." - ElenaWell that explains it. I've been out, by the gate all day, waiting for you, and you know Jer never checks the machine."- ClaytonI didn't know how Clay had known I was coming back today when I hadn't left a message. Nor did I question why he'd spent the entire day waiting at the gate. Clay's behavior couldn't be measured by human standard's of normalcy... or by any standards of normalcy at all.Bitten
Elena expresses her frustration about Clay's absence when she arrives, questioning why no one was there to greet her. Clay responds, suggesting that he has been nearby and implies that Elena should have left a message. This back-and-forth reveals the miscommunication between them, as Elena had indeed left a message two hours earlier, highlighting that her partner, Jer, never checks for such messages.
The situation showcases Clay’s peculiar nature, as he seemed to have instinctively known Elena would return, despite her lack of communication. Elena reflects on Clay's unconventional behavior, noting that it doesn't conform to typical standards of normalcy, suggesting a deeper, perhaps intuitive, connection between them.
