He's trying because if he stops trying, he'll vanish into another Segment, this time alone. He's trying because there are still people who need him. He's trying because he told Galliard he couldn't do it, and Galliard told him he didn't have a choice. He's trying because his feet keep carrying him forward, and he keeps staggering after them.
But fuck, it feels impossible.
He winds up in a bar for the first time since his eighteenth birthday, having a drink to take the edge off. Then another drink for Bertholdt, who can't drink again. Then another for no particular reason. Why not? It's not like he has a mission in the morning. Who cares if he winds up shitfaced?
He wanders out of that bar eventually. Wanders through a few more until he ends up who knows where. He's still in Coldreach, which is good; he hasn't liked the cold since July, so no one will think to look for him here.
Which is all the more reason to be surprised when he looks up from his latest drink to see, ]
