Moiraine is keeping vigil, and Roland has gone to bed.

He puts his new coffee mug on his dresser with the other three. He likes this Tet Corporation mug, with its rose, more than the rest of them. A lot more.

And now, now when he's alone, he collapses on the edge of the bed and rubs his temples.

It's been a long day.

There's a phrase that Roland was told as a small child: all small boys born to the High Speech must face the dark alone.

"Alone."

He looks it.

Joe sets a hand on the man's shoulder again, and gives it a rough squeeze.

And returns to Jake's room. To do what he can.

And Roland turns and goes to the bar. To do what he must.
