I woke up in the Salty Sailor tavern with a hardened resolve.

I will fight through this. If it means I will feel no human warmth against my skin for the rest of my life, so be it. She needs me, and I'll be brave.

My life as I imagined it will never come about. My heart is broken in a way I never could foresee.

I don't know where I will go from here.
