Eliza is the third person in his life to take their life by suicide, but the first since his parents shuffled loose the mortal coil. More than that though is the guilt coursing through Gaius's veins and weighing heavily on his heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn between departures from reality, Gaius finds himself planning a funeral with Eliza's designated hook-up Ernest.
