so dexter and brian are three years apart. dexter was like three-four and brian was six-seven (stfu.) when they were put in the shipping container and when dexter was taken by harry. so it makes sense that dexter remembers nothing about brian, he was so little and harrys influence was able to take root in dexters brain instead of brians. dexter wasnt given the option to remember brian, so he couldnt, whereas brian was given the option time and time again to forget dexter and he never would.

give a few years, now dexter is sixteen and brian is nineteen, and brians been stalking dexter for so long its second nature at this point. he follows dexter on his way to and from school, he watches dexter bond with his new "family" with not even an inkling about his old one. and, of course, he sees how harry manipulates dexter. erases brian, dexters only real family, from his life and memories. tells dexter that his urges make him a monster. trains dexter like a dog into what harry wants him to be, not what brian knows he is. so its only natural that brian put an end to this, to harry.

its quick, truly. its quicker than it should be. quicker than harry deserves. there's screaming, crying, there always is, but brian doesnt care to drag it out. to listen to harry plead for and threaten him, not how he usually treasures those moments between him and his victims. because this isnt usual, and he has a job to do. rid harry of his life, and finally take back his brother. and once harry is dead, cut up into pieces just how he let laura be cut up, brian doesn't hesitate. he's at dexters house - not home, his home is with brian - before he even knows how he got there.
