The door clicked shut behind Sophia as she left, and Tim sighed heavily as she did, his whole body relaxing completely. He turned away from the door and walked through his living room, mumbling to himself along the way. His disposition was one that was dreary and foggy headed at the moment. Despite the mostly fun day he had with Sophia, there was still something nagging in the back of his mind, and it was beginning to surface again.

_How am I supposed to react to my sons dead body? Huh?!_

"Fuck..." Tim said under his breath, shaking his head as he made his way to his laptop, flipping it open and logging in. "Go away..."

_How could you do this to your own mother?! On the **holidays** no less!_

"Go the fuck away, mother."

And with that, Tim began to tick away quickly on his keyboard, back in his work zone. He didn't do anything else. HE didnt react to anything, didnt move. He focused on the code and only the code, drowning out any thoughts, negative or otherwise.

Tim worked for five hours until he passed out on the couch again, completely drained and with no energy left. He fell asleep with no thoughs on his mind, and he slept a dreamless sleep.
