How the Universes Connect

The DEA universe isn't a single story — it's a constellation. Each series exists in its own emotional atmosphere, yet threads run between them. Characters who appear as strangers in one book surface as echoes in another. The city that swallows Shayla is the same city Devon escapes in Ordinary World. The therapist mentioned in Broken treated Mary's sister years before Mary's story begins. The unnamed figure in The Unalive shares a last name with a character from the standalones — intentional or coincidence? Dwight has never said.
