Nothing is the same anymore, now that Manhattan is gone. Knox wanders alone, thinking of how he must return to his family but knowing that just looking at them will turn his heart inside out. To see them there, son and lover, mate, Aylin without his companion sitting between them is too much pain.

He knows that he will need to overcome this. He understands that it is his duty as a father, as someone who has tried for so long to guide Aylin to safety and make up for the hurt he has caused her. But the option does not lie there before him, and so he simply walks alone.

Knox does not care about the moon. He does not think about she who hangs it like an ornament of the heavens, he does not think of her once strong loyalty to her. Those were the killing days, the days of the hunt. Now he has lost all power and will--now he has lost his most trusted, kindest weapon. This time, her mortality has betrayed him and turned the handle of the knife away from its bearer.

Slowly, he feels the pain of its sucking wound in his chest.

Bridleless, unbonded, and without tethers he moves through the night. He has been shirking his duties. He doesn't care about any of them. And he doesn't pay attention, isn't used to filling in the gaps of his senses that Manhattan once filled. He is susceptible, no longer the master of stealth that he once was. He doesn't see the mare, doesn't see anything as he wanders and toys with the magic of blindness. He doesn't care to find her.

How can he care when half of his heart has died?
