It does hurt, so much. While I love the third season, it's so painful to watch because of what he's going through, and all it makes me want to do is tackle him and forcefully give him a hug. He inspires that, doesn't he?

But even in the midst of all there's always that small sense of hope...if you'll notice, he put the book inside his jacket and never gave it back. And maybe he was just distracted enough that he didn't read his story carefully, because if he had, he would have noticed that there are a few interesting words in there that just may herald someone returning...
