He's settled in now, the girl's tied tight and gone fast to sleep. He now's she's a good woman but she's not accepting after what she's seen. He watched her for a moment in her peaceful grace. Her soft snore, makes him smile but it's all just a bit too late. He closes the door behind him and head for the living room.
Sitting in his quiet apartment Gren picks up his sax. He grabs his towel to polish it, smoothing over the fingerprints of his last play. He stares into not looking but just seeing himself. He's feeling lonely again. A pain that never dissipates as he sees his vision. A body changed and betrayed, by someone he held close to him. To be so misused and hurt and unable to heal has left him alone.
He only wants him back. He wants only to hurt him, like he's been hurt. That lilting tune plinking over in his mind. Gren is sad in a way no one, not even Vicious, can understand. He can't cry because he'd feel weak, but his heart is smashed to smithereens.
He closes his eyes and takes a breath. And without trying the tears run quick from his eyes. He chuckles but lets them run. They won't stop anytime soon. Instead he puts the reed to his mouth and plays that melancholy melody, one last time.
