Maximus has left the house, heartbroken. On his way, he didn't rush to go to the palace instead his mind is filled with the thoughts of Sylvia and what she said the other day. She's right, he doesn't have the courage to do what his heart wants to tell him and later regrets if someone is hurt by his decision. Like how Sylvia is hurt.
He married her with dreams and hopes for a peaceful future and he still has it but because of his family he couldn't be cheerful with her and the result he ruined everything. He broke her heart and his heart too. Maximus looks at the grey sky and he wondered how is life going to be in next year or the years after that. Would he be alive to see his child grow up? It made him anxious.
