Alanis clenched his jaw, every emotion crashing into him at once, regret, guilt, a sense of profound emptiness. All the moments he'd brushed aside, all the signs he'd chosen to ignore. The ashes in the vase… his son's ashes.

Gus still couldn't grasp why his boss was so calm, so restrained after receiving the news of his son's death. Shouldn't there be tears? Heartbreak?
