   Summary

   He steps inside the bar and hears his laugh, loud and roaring as he bends over the billiard table. Eugene’s mind blanks. His anger grows so big that it almost consumes him, washes hot and blindingly over him, so that for a second he can’t see a thing, other than a piercing white light.
   ---
   Eugene has to face the anger that the war inflicted in him and which follows him home. He has to learn how to live with it, overcoming it with the years. Thankfully he has Merriell by his side who helps him to stay calm whenever the state of the world makes him feel utterly helpless and angry at times.
