I think you mean Gaff's origami. It means Gaff was at Deckard's apartment and could have retired Rachel if he wanted to. But he let her live as a favor to Deckard... so they could live happily ever after. Gaff may have went back to the station and told Bryant the last Replicant was dead.

If I recall correctly, the origami was a Unicorn. The symbolism of this is that Deckard has a memory of seeing a Unicorn. But how can this be since Unicorns are mythological creatures. The answer is it is a memory implant the same as Rachel's memory of her mother. Which means Deckard is also a Replicant.

If you read the book it implies that decard is a replicant also

"Do androids dream of electric sheep?" written by Philip Kindred Dick is the original book. My dad bought a hard copy back in 1969, and I still have it. Probably read it at least 5 or 6 times before I bought another copy, so as not to ruin the hardback first print I have.

If you want more, there have been 3 sequels written, BR 2 - The Edge of Human", BR 3 - Replicant Night and BR 4 - Eye and Talon. Not anywhere as good as the first, but still gives you more, including some back story and interesting theories, like is Deckard a replicant also, but doesn't know it?
