He just...some part of him feels as though he is letting Ciri down. That perhaps he should try harder, not for Yennefer, but for her. But he knows, too, that there is...what Ciri sees in Yennefer, Geralt does not. He simply does not. He's wanted to. He misses her. He misses what they were—what has been lost between them. But there's no sense in living for what could have been. ]
