Plot
Triton was seen alone in the hospital, sitting up and looking down as his thoughts swam through his head. He felt rage boiling up inside, but he fought a silent battle with it, trying not to succumb to it. However, he was slowly falling into a dark place, and it was too much to bear in this place...

The next morning, Dawn went to the hospital with Pallas, the rest of the family not wanting to see Triton after how he treated Esa (or in Khepu's case, because he just didn't care). However, when they reached the hospital, they could not find their father, his bed empty. Immediately worried, Dawn went out to look for him, alerting the others of the current status, while Pallas followed her.

Thankfully, they did not have to travel far; they found him overlooking Atlantis from a mountain, still in bandages. When Pallas tried to talk to him, Triton snapped at her, causing her to hide behind Dawn. The young redhead was shocked by her father's behavior and angrily asked him what his problem was. Triton replied with a snark that her mother was the problem. "First, she tried to steal me. Then, she fooled around with Sariel. Now? SHE'S STEALING MY OWN WIFE!!!" The two goddesses backed away, having never seen their father with this much rage. However, Dawn continued to talk, the conversation growing ugly.

Finally, Dawn struck the final cord when she yelled that she wished she never 'traveled this whole damn ocean' just to look for him, leaving Triton speechless. Claiming that she was glad she spent most of her life without knowing the sadistic bastard who hurt her mother, she left with Pallas.

Unfortunately, deep in Triton's thoughts, the rage has won as he fell in defeat to it...
