Whatever he does now, it's no longer my problem.
He speaks softly while he works, defending his decision to no one but himself.
He's the one who latched on to me. I had zero control of that. He will just have to move on.
The thoughts linger with him for the night, slowly quieting themselves over the next few days. When Wednesday comes, William makes his final appearance at the office, giving the rest of his coworkers a firm handshake (and even allowing a saddened Alan to give him a brief hug.) He's not entirely surprised Grell is absent, but again, he tries not to think of what she might have gotten herself into in the last few days. Goodbyes said, he makes his way to the upper offices, where he expects he'll be shown to his new life. ]
