He gave up the pretense of sleep. Looked at the note Harold left, then moved towards the bathroom. Stood there for long moments, trying to remember what to do. Looked in the mirror.



7:00AM


He realized, in that half-dream state, that no amount of laying under the stinging spray of the shower would wash it away. Picked himself up off of the floor, toweled off, got dressed.



8:00AM


He didn't want to leave the room, but he did anyway. Left a note for Harold, that he was going to go see about working in the shipyards. He didn't know if it would help, and didn't care. At least it would give him something to focus on outside of his skull.

He went home. Locked the door. Stripped off and went into the bathroom, turning the hot water on. Curled up on the floor of the shower, and curled his arms up over his head.

At least some of the water running down the drain was saltwater.

He couldn't really understand why the thing that hurt the worst was the most normal thing he had done all day. As though the world was somehow all right, even when it wasn't.
