Sirius makes it home from the hospital, still reflecting on what he's learned and what he's lost. Sitting in front of his house, he spots Colten, Meri's lover and the father of her unborn child. Part of Sirius wishes he could just walk by without a confrontation; the other part wishes Colten would pull out his gun and open fire, putting an end to his misery. Instead, a distraught Colten asks why he came back. If he truly loved Meri, he would have simply let her go after all that time, rather than leaving her alone and expecting her to welcome him home with open arms and resume their lives after almost two years of no contact.
He realizes that Colten is right and breaks down, still lamenting the selfishness that has led him to this point.
