No more puerile pranks....no more indulgence to outwit his friends....his demeanor could best be described as filled with emotional lability and sudden shifts of mood...but it was all because of his loss...and it was evident because he was unable to conceal his pique....he would fritter away his time sitting idly and rue n mourn each and every moment of the past...he would feel impuissant in his own environment...we could never fully plumb the depths of his thought process....later we didnt even try doing so....earlier he had lost a battle...now he was losing the war...
