Chapter 37:
For the first time since he was a child he cries. He cries because he knows his love for Joan overpowers his selfish desires. Because of this he wants to let her go for her own sake. Better she be alone than with him, a murderer. No, worse. A genocide.
She cries for the hundredth time it seems. She cries because she is losing the man she loves and she doesn't know why or how to get him back. Hot tears pour down her cheeks as she tries to console herself in her empty apartment, void of any comforting touch.
