The Order of the Black Sun

It took Erich some time to overcome the grief he felt in his heart after losing S'aleth. After all, he had briefly thought there was hope for her survival, but instead she had chosen to die with him. There was only one problem: the Empire had other plans for Erich and had through extensive effort had brought him back from the void. 

And while Erich cried alone in the dark, he made sure that this would be the last time he did so. After all, he would have to move forward with his life the moment after he stepped out of this room. Thus, he made sure to properly say his goodbyes to a woman who had been there for him when nobody else was. Before finally getting up from his medical bed and leaving the past behind him.
