Dexter in “In the Beginning”

Dexter

[voiceover] Harry tried to mold me in the image of the monster he thought I was. He told me to flee human connection. So that became a way of life for me. When I couldn't run, I put up barriers to protect myself. And to protect others from me. [Later, after they have made love, as they lie in each other's arms] But with Lumen, I'm someone different. In her eyes, I'm not a monster at all.
