Chapter 45: Saul is grateful to Erwin, but he’s still restless for something new—something that will fulfill him. Ervin clearly thinks of Saul as a kind of son. However, Saul has too many “inner demons” and repressed memories to settle down and accept Ervin’s love and friendship.
Overview of Chapter 46
Saul’s behavior may seem odd, but it reflects his intense feelings of guilt and shame about what he perceives to be his failures in life. He drinks because he’s angry and bitter, and doesn’t seem to believe that he’s worthy of Ervin’s love. It is for this reason, ultimately, that Saul leaves Ervin’s home. However, he heads back to Fish Clan territory, perhaps suggesting that he’s trying to get to the root of his problem.
