He knew that something was wrong with him. Ever since he had been back it had been different. Nothing felt right. It was like he was just… empty.

He didn’t care that the only thing close to genuine enjoyment he could get was physical gratification, he didn’t care that he wasn’t sleeping or eating, and he especially didn’t care that he should care. It all made him a better hunter, that was all he did care about.
