After Elias had been killed, and Logan been taken, Hesh was distraught. Unintentionally, he'd distanced himself from you, caught up in his grief.

He hadn't been sleeping well, hadn't been eating much. While your comfort helped enormously, it didn't bring Logan or his father back. He, in all honesty, felt quite hopeless. Alone.

You watched him pick at his food, sitting opposite to you at the dinner table. He didn't seem like he was quite there, absent-mindedly sorting his food into separate corners of his plate. He hadn't gotten a single bite into his mouth, he was apparently too busy stacking all of his rice in a pile.
