He still isn't sure if it's out of his own system yet, but there's nothing around to really trigger his lesser impulses, having settled into a growing numbness with the present situation, the futility of having any kind of reaction to it, knowing it won't lead him anywhere, won't get him home any faster, won't bring back his powers.
