But, something else is wrong. Why are there no other people walking the streets? Why do the police continue to question him? Why are they driving by his house?

Section I is in the present and past, as we learn about the bridge and why he's there. Section II is a flashback of where the political protagonist is coming from and what led to his demise. Section III brings us back to the present, where we see the consequences of Farquhar's (the protagonist) risky actions. What can we learn from war? Does it have a toll on us?
