[ For a few weeks William attempted to adapt to yet another new life. But being forgiven doesn't give you a smiling new optimistic personality. He remained in his home for most of the day, not being the social type. It could all be looked at as an overdue vacation, no more deadlines or corrections to be dealt with. But instead, it ended up feeling even more tiring and lonely than before.
For a brief moment he regrets trying to get here, at all. And that's when he's contacted.
Part of William hoped that Grell could learn to get along without him. That in his absence, she'd notice she only thought she needed him there to stabilize herself. After all, leaving was not meant as a malicious payback for all the headaches she'd given him.
Why he had any faith that that'd be the case was beyond him.
William remained silent and unreadable as he listened to the explanation of the situation they were in. It was similar to the three years she'd disappeared, going on a murdering spree with that woman, but at least then, no one at the headquarters had suffered injury. It'd taken a lot of bargaining on William's part to get management to allow her back with little repercussion, something he never let Grell know. This time, though her actions were worse, things were more in his favor. And as they concluded, William stated his demands and stipulations quite clearly. They needed him, so all they could do was agree to his terms. ]
