Departure

Gale's pursuit of Dawn takes over his life, and he becomes increasingly obsessed with finding her and reconnecting with her. He is aided in his search by a new group of friends he meets in Montreal, including Selene Bauman, a Chinese-German curator, and Charlotte Gagnon, a doctor who becomes a regular at the café where Gale works. He also reconnects with Tara Robles, an architect who he dated in high school and his first year of university, when he was still an engineering student pursuing a so-called normal life.
