Summary
Even in youth, some ancient part of your brain must have already known that the future was inevitable, that it would be here before you knew it. Hence the dreams. Hence their progression, every single time: You are trapped. You want to escape, to run, to be free. Someone is following you and you know you must evade them, that to be caught is tantamount to certain death, to the destruction of all you are. Running, always running, with no destination in sight. Just the deep-down knowledge that you must go, that you must go now.
Imprisonment. Escape. Capture. Over and over again.
After Amsterdam, Theo doesn't go back to New York.
