Yusuf Zuck was very depressed, with an overwhelming urge to vomit blood.
Because he was now homeless.
Indeed, he had thought that on his first day back, he could spend the night at either Ruth Wilcox's or Miles O'Brien's place, but what he hadn't anticipated was that Ruth Wilcox had brought the little nurse to her home and Miles O'Brien had brought Anna Cooke to hers.
It was as if the two had conspired, shutting their doors to him using the excuse of having guests at home, leaving Yusuf with no place to go.
Of course, Yusuf could somewhat guess their intentions. It was not that they wanted to reject him, but rather, they wanted to show Yusuf that they were willing to make some sacrifices for him.
Moved and yet wanting to vomit blood at the same time.
As for Pillar and the others, they also had a rare day off and, he heard, had gone out collectively to solicit prostitutes.
