[The months after he has felt cold. Alone. Elektra has been in Matt's orbit. It's clear he is not the same person that he was. No one close to him is truly privy to understand save for Frank, for Elektra and Stick. All of them are people that Matthew is certain do not understand him the way he so desperately wants to be understood. He is suffering a serious loss of a half of himself, his best friend and all the guilt and remorse with that.
At least as far as matters go with Elektra she won't press him any more than necessary. She knows him as well as anyone could know Matthew. She knows he needs to grieve and while he won't speak to her about the depths of his grief, she will do what she can. As usual though, she is ever more than what she seems. Not just his lady love, but a covert agent of The Hand. If only she had been able to see three steps ahead, she might have been more insistent to press Matthew. The Devil of Hell's Kitchen has been dormant. She and the city will need him.
He visits the grave only as much as he can emotionally take. It isn't much. And perhaps that was the first clue that something would be amiss.
There is more at play. The earthquake. And before long he finds himself chasing another thread, going to Rand and all the hell that broke loose. Falling in with other heroic types. And now The Hand. Why can't he be left alone?]
