Initially, Dennis kept Martin Duffy's body in the kitchen cupboard, but after two days, decomposition had significantly disfigured his remains, so he placed his body under the floorboards and left it there.
In the days that followed, he threw away Martin's clothing, his suitcase, and other belongings, erasing any sign that he had been in his apartment at all.

I think at that point it was a fantasy to him, a dark fantasy.
But he didn't plan, I think, that one far ahead of time.
But now he's premeditating.
But now he's indulged his darkest fantasy and there's been no negative consequence.
And if anything, there's been subtle cues to keep going.
