Sirius is released from the hospital and returns home. On the drive back, he reflects on how angry he was when Meri confessed everything just before the car crash; not at her, and not at Colten, but at himself, for not being able to give her the emotional support she needed. He realizes how stubborn he had been when he decided to leave her for the unknown on his mission to the Keywork; he thought he would discover something amazing out there, and though he certainly did, he understands too late that none of it mattered as much as his wife. If he hadn't left her, she would likely still be alive and he could have salvaged their marriage. Instead, his selfish desired ruined the best thing he had.
