Nothing left

That leaving Vash behind wouldn't be easy, he had known. Expected, even. What he hadn't anticipated was the sensation of emptiness overlaying even his overall burned-out feeling.

The bartender seemed to have come to a similar conclusion. After giving him a quick once-over, he poured him a double shot.

"Nothing left but faith, huh?"

At that, he managed a grin. Faith! The one thing that hadn't been there from the beginning.

The only thing he was certain of was that Tongari would mourn him.

He downed the first drink.

Yeah, that was all that was left: booze and lies.
