Sure there was the fact that he may be a dad, and the fact that Superjail II will be hard work to get off the ground. But The Warden didn't care, he had a partner, a person that did not think his ideas were far-fetched and even... 'crazy'. She even was willing to help him out, the wonderful woman.
So he bounds into Millicent's room, expecting to hear her nasty-mouth and her advice on gathering the workers...
But the room is completely empty.
"Milli?" He calls out, almost childlike.
She hasn't been seen in a good long while... could it be that she's...
No...
He walks out, clearly not his peppy, jolly self. He still isn't The Warden of anything, he has no jail, no prisoners... he has no purpose. He has nothing.
And he has just lost the only person that believed in his purpose in this place.
I want to go home...
OOC: Because I secretly like my rp pups in angsty emotional pain sometimes. Have a rare Sad!Warden everybody. Punt anyone you like to cheer him up or crush his dreams some moar. This open post works even better with these
