He stands then, scooping up his folded clothes with the intention of putting them away. He’s got clothes in his sewing room, comfortable clean simple clothes... He hesitates for a moment before speaking.
“I’m far too awake. I might go for a walk after my chore. Don’t wait up for me, darling. I’ll be as quiet as possible when I return.”
He could have snuck out but he wants this outfit, the one he came to Hell in. It’s his personal armour and he needs something to settle him.
In the end he’s not back until past 2am, stinking of a barroom floor and regretting his decision to test the shots to see how quickly he could clear them from his system. He almost sleeps in his sewing room, just to be alone… but Annie’s nightmares can be terrible.
He stuffs down his selfish side, takes a quick shower, and returns to the bed he belongs in to sleep chastely beside a woman he has no future with.
