There are many ways to deal with death and Hamilton knew that better than anyone.

When his mother died he thought it was unbearable.

When Laurens died he thought it was unbearable.

When Philip died he thought it was unbearable.

Now, Jefferson had died and it was unbearable. Everything hurt ND Hamilton's mind ticked away, tearing itself apart like it always did when this happened. There was only one way to stop it. Throw himself into his work.

Jefferson had known this.

So Hamilton did just that but he never learned to cope. He never healed. His heart simply slowly bled out until nothing remained. He cared for nothing. So when the war of 1812 broke out, Hamilton didn't hesitate to sign up. Didn't hesitate to sign up for the suicide mission either.

This was one time his luck didn't pull through where he fell short.
