Summary: Hurin can't go on.

Húrin shut his eyes. The tragedy of their lives had killed his children and now it had claimed his wife. If only he could join them. The feeling of overwhelming numbness stopped him from throwing himself on his sword. Was the numbness peace or the nearest he was allowed? Whatever it was he'd take it. He didn't have to do anything to die - just sit. Soon he would be free of care.

A piercing wind blew: he didn't notice. Then the rain flooded his mouth and nostrils. Húrin gasped and his emotions came back, like the air into his lungs.
