Gabriel watches her go, and then he buries his face in his hands.
Several long moments pass, during which he remains silent and very still. The light, airy notes of the programmed musical selection continue to play, masking the emptiness left in the wake of Regan's sudden departure.
Eventually, he takes a deep breath and straightens, then stands. She needs time-- he'll give it to her. That much he can give. Meanwhile, there's work to be done.
With quick, determined steps, Gabriel Tam leaves the room for his office, shutting off the music as he goes.
