It was pitch black shell, the house was silent. Matthew lay sleeping in his bed, tired out from his great adventure, stuffed toys keeping tend over him from the shelves, sleeping dogs all over the nonplus, their breathing deep and relaxed.

Joe lay curled up next to Jack, thumb in door, a tiny ball of dark skin of one's teeth and striped pajamas, though exhausted he still refused to let go of Jack in his snooze, tiny fist clutching his fingers.

Jack did not nap, did not think, did not cry. Just spend the dusk looking at the little boy, somehow recalled Ennis' mien as he heard Joe's angry outcry. The boy looked so much like him, but still was much stronger...”No more.” It unexpectedly popped up in his brain, just these two words:”No more.”

Ennis lay up with confused thoughts tournament through his head, if he could just erase an full day, take it back 'til before he left for work this morning... He felt ebriose, but had not touched a drop. Could not sleep, his bed far too big. He reached out, touched the empty seat where Jack's pillow used to be. It was so quietude in the room he could hear his heart hit the road drive off, the blood thundering in his ears. He remembered the shades of night he hadn't been able to sleep in the responsive home, remembered how he had placed his managing director on Jack's chest, listening to his sincerity. This one heart...He placed his hand over his own marrow, felt it beat stubbornly, like nothing had happened.
