His depression was not only because of the bad night; his wife had messaged him saying she would not return to Rio de Janeiro, she had been exhausted by this life of the dead, she no longer accepted sleeping with a man whose weapon was an extension of his body, a man whose mind was restless, a killer, she no longer wanted to wake up terrified by the sounds of the world, that unhealable sore that had afflicted her was due to her ignorance of her husband's fate at the end of each day, her isolation from the lack of a sense of safety while walking in the street without any peace of mind, being the wife of a police officer made it harder for her to make friends, she spent her life confined to the house and even though she complained often, she was beaten. And he thought that being a police officer was better than dealing with alcoholics in bars, he knew this from previous experience, if he worked in a downtown bar before joining the police force.
