Patrick Williams survived chaos and went back to his life.
That was supposed to be the happy ending. Now, months later, Pat’s routine is intact—his job, his apartment, his cat Francis, his late-night anime marathons with Quill. The pocket watch that once drove him into violence still rests quietly on his desk. Nothing is wrong. And yet something feels… missing.
As the days blur together, Pat (and Silvia) begins to notice a creeping emptiness he can’t explain or fix. Small, ordinary pressures start to weigh heavier than they should: a tense workplace conflict, a neighbor dispute that refuses to stay quiet, the return of people who remember him as someone he no longer feels like. These aren’t threats. They’re just life. But life, unremarkable and relentless, proves harder to face than danger ever was.
