Rick walked briefly through the complex where they were hidden. He had a dejected face, two times more tired than usual.
'I am already someone who is never ok, but now comes these kinds of things to get me even worst...', he thought as he wept the tears in his eyes.
'I can't handle it anymore. I hope that this rain passes soon. I ought to do it before it's too late. These people are bringing my humanity back. Who would think that something like this would happen, huh? I thought that I had thrown away my emotions forever. Maybe forever is too strong of a word...'
He remembered all the times when he said forever in his life. Like when he married, or when he promised to protect his daughter, or when he thought that his ordinary days would remain until his last breath.
