When Dominic visits Renton's grandfather to relay news of his grandson, the silence afterward is ominous and stifling. He wonders why Renton's friends from the Gekkostate asked him to do this when anyone of them would have been a better choice. The silence is so thick, he can hear the drips of water from the roof falling into the snow. He wonders why Renton's the one who disappeared when Dominic's the one with no family left to return to.

Beside him, Anemone takes his hand, dispelling his foolish notions of disappearing.

"Thank you, friend of Renton," says Renton's grandfather.

Dominic swallows thickly.
