- "The Return" -
Seth slowly made his way over to the Blue Bar.
"Hey, what's going on?"
The six there were Galen, Hardy, Nami, Patrick, Kassey, and Gustafa. There appeared to be a seventh person he didn't notice. As he took a closer look, he realized who it was.
"Griffin!"
Griffin had indeed returned to Forget me not Valley.
"Yes, Seth, me," Griffin said. "I didn't like living in the city, so I moved back. I noticed, though, that Galen has been continuing the bar buisness. I thank you for that."
"You're welcome to take it back, if you want," Galen said.
"No, it's okay," Griffin said. "I don't deserve to run things yet. Not since..."
He turned away from Seth. "I see you were able to continue your life after I ruined it. Good for you. Don't let anything get in your way."
"Uh... but where are you gonna stay?" Seth asked.
"I'll rent the other room over at the Inn," Griffin said. "I'll see you all later."
He walked through the small crowd towards the Inner Inn.
"What's his problem?" Nami asked irritably. "He's almost depressed as you were, Seth."
"If you held the gun that killed two people, would you feel very good yourself?" Seth asked.
Nami fell silent. "Good point."

"Griffin is back? Didn't he leave at that incident at the Blue Bar?"
"Yeah, about two months ago..."
"It's a pity that terrible night happened..."
"Yeah, I get shivers thinking about it."
After Griffin left, a conversation started in the Blue Bar.
"I'm just glad he's back," Galen said. "This place hasn't been the same without him..."
"You aren't thinking of quitting, are you?" Gustafa asked.
"Not yet..." Galen said. "I'm rather getting there in years..."
"You'll last," Kassey said. "Live long and hard, and stuff. You won't just suddenly die like that, no sir."
"That kind of stuff happens to us elders..." Galen muttered.
"Anything the matter?" Seth asked.
"Well, I've been feeling kind of sleepy recently," Galen pondered. "I wonder what that means... I've been getting plenty of sleep..."
"When have you been going to bed?" Hardy asked.
"Sometime after ten," Galen said, thinking.
"Well, just to be on the safe side, you should go to bed earlier tonight."
"You're right, I should close up early tonight," Galen said. "Finish up your drinks, gentlemen. I bid you all good night."
"Night, Galen," Seth said his goodbye as Galen left through the door.
"Hmmm, I wonder if he's okay?" mused Gustafa.
"He'll be fine," Hardy said. "Galen's a survivor."
"Yeah, I suppose you're right."

The next day, Seth had gotten up early again, so he put more feed in the chicken coop, then went off into town. Not many people were up, but when Seth walked by the Blue Bar, he found Galen.
"Galen?"
The elderly man groaned. "Who's that?"
"Me, Seth."
Galen shook his head. "Seth?"
"What are you doing up this early?"
"The same could be asked for you..."
Seth was confused. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine... just fine... yeah... I'd better go... get more sleep."
As he walked off, Seth watched him. What was he doing by the Blue Bar that early? Was he okay?
"Um... Galen?"
"Leave me alone!" he said.
Seth ran up to him. "What's the problem?"
"I don't got a problem!" he said irritably.
"Come on, ya gotta-"
"Will you just leave me the hell alone?"
Seth could take no more. "Fine, ya old quack! I didn't care anyway..."
Galen stumbled off towards his small hut, grumbling. Seth walked off down the road.
"What the hell was his problem? He didn't need to get so damn angry at me for caring. Jesus, he was acting like me... maybe I need more sleep..."
He walked back towards his farm.
