The weight of Evelyn's death still pressed down on him, each step he took getting heavier and heavier.
But he couldn't lie to himself anymore.
Despite the suffocating feeling that followed, he knew he had to cross this obstacle somehow.

He was exhausted.
It was impossible to keep everyone safe in any progression.
He had only realized now that death was inevitable, despite the foresight, the preparations, and the knowledge. He couldn't take everything into account.
