He'll be spending the next few days assuaging and soothing no matter where he stays, and Swann's the better option. Still, the idea of the next few days makes him want to run away to the Districts, and he very well may work late.
And he needs to text Lorraine, although he has no idea what he'll say. Maybe tell her to be discreet. Maybe say he'll visit soon. Maybe say he'll never see her again.
