Elliot's Trouble Following the Plot

Elliot had trouble following the plot. Instead of acting with urgency to change or patch things up, he remained isolated and indifferent. Elliot's brother chaperoned him from one doctor's visit to the next. His psychiatrist said Elliot wasn't depressed. He exhibited almost zen-like calm in the eye of a hurricane caused by his own negligence. A man they once admired essentially threw his life away. No one could make sense of it.
