Summary
While attempting to enjoy his drink at a 24-hour bar, Scaevus starts dreaming about his deceased lover, Korvin, regarding his execution and his father, Jovan's disdain for homosexual relationships. His dream is interrupted by a barmaid, who complains about him being there since the night before.
