You don't live by days anymore, just nights, one after the other; dead bodies and losing faith in mankind altogether. Eddie has moved to his sister's and that's better, she takes care of Lindsey when you're at work and when you get back, you don't have strength to drag yourself into bed so you crash on the sofa. Your eyes are a shade of bloodshot red and your blood moves so slowly in your veins nowadays, into a world of dark circles and bags under your eyes.
"You okay?" Grissom asks.
"Sure," you reply.
There's nothing anyone can do now.
