Yes. I think it was final resignation to what he'd become. The key, IMO, is when he returned to Tahoe--he knew Fredo had betrayed him, and Kay ignored him when he came in the door--and asked Mama if it was possible to lose his family.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
