He has set up three ultimate "tear-open rules" under the motto "Steve's TAO", which he passes on to his roommate. "Steve" is a synonym for all "cool" guys, such as Steve McQueen .
At the college graduate meeting, Dex meets Syd, with whom he was previously friends. He falls in love with her and realizes that his previous life was unfulfilled.
However, Syd returns to New York, from there she calls Dex. He appears to her personally at this moment.
