"Do you see that now?" The movie about Abe Stillwagon had ended, and the lights in the cave were back up...but Dunne just stood there as if the movie were still playing. "Was that really...?" he said. "Yes," said Gowdy. "Where is he?" said Dunne. "What prison?" "Doesn't matter." Gowdy shook his head. "Stillwagon's dead." "Dead?" "Executed," said Gowdy. "Last week. He's gone." Dunne scowled. He was having trouble processing everything, to say the least. "Gone." "You don't have to be afraid anymore," said Gowdy. "You don't have to tear yourself apart." Dunne did not answer. "You did the right thing by not fighting him." Gowdy nodded. "That's what I modified Godseye to tell you. You saved your wife and daughter from pointless suffering." Still, Dunne remained silent. Gowdy put a hand on his shoulder. "Nothing you could have done would have saved your family. It's time to let go of the guilt." Dunne shrugged off Gowdy's hand and turned away.
