In the prison.
In the darkest cell, Hyland Riley sat alone on the floor, his head leaning against the wall.
He had lost track of how long he'd been locked up and had no idea what was happening outside.
After learning that Stella and their child had died in the explosion, Hyland lost all will to live.
His grandfather had visited him once, crying bitterly, almost collapsing from the grief.
At that moment, Hyland felt that life had lost its meaning.
He knew the only reason he was still alive was because of Martin Riley.
That man wouldn't let him die easily, knowing full well that living was the greatest torment for him.
Just as Martin had intended, after discovering everything, Hyland found no reason to go on.
But to his surprise, he wasn't even granted the right to die.
After a failed suicide attempt, he was placed in this cell, constantly watched, with nothing in the room that could be used to end his life.
