Summary
Death has left a hole in Henry’s heart that gnaws and howls at him at any given moment. He hears a melodic laugh of a barmaid and thinks of his last conversation with Bianca. He sees the bellows give life to fire and thinks of his father warning him against learning to fight. Every time he walks past the refugee camp, he knows how fortunate he is, but at what cost? To live an incomplete life, not knowing if he is betraying the people he’s lost by living the life he currently has?
***
After the destruction of Skalitz, Henry feels as though his life is bifurcated in irrecoverable ways. Before, he was a good Christian who believed in God and had a sweetheart in Bianca. Afterwards, he navigates new relationships while questioning a god that allows such devastation.
A journey of acceptance, religion, and love.
