No Big Deal or Anything

He looked out the window towards the shimmering shores where the raft was docked, his head resting on the side of the stone window as he felt almost lost in this view that was really just completely blank inside his mind. It was like everything in his head was just gone but he was filled with nothing but loss and regret. He couldn't connect the two. Not now, and not when he was sober either.

He did jump as the second bottle crashed right next to his head and shattered on the floor beside him, his gaze flicking quickly to the disturbance. Even in the state he was in it was unsettling. He side stepped in a stumble towards the corner of the room that was right next to the window, and it took him another moment to react at all. Was this a sign to him? For him? He couldn't know it was his father on the other side. The thought hadn't even crossed his mind. But the message, even if not one Allegro was trying to get across, it settled in there with him. He wouldn't put down the drink. He couldn't live without it, or that's how he felt. His life was barely worth living without Azzurra even though he was the main cause of everything that happened between them. At this point, he didn't know how to live any other way than drowning it out every night like this. Eventually he lifted his own wine bottle, all in one quick motion and slammed it down onto the ground with the other. He hummed in a growl and grunt as the glass pierced through his paw underneath, and without another moment inside his room he made unsteady steps towards the door outside. He would spend his night out on the beach with his raft.
