"Does anyone want to speak first?"
No one did, of course. How could they speak when they didn't even truly know how they felt about being there, or about anything at all?
Bernard had just finished a press conference where he had spent damage control while sounding completely empathetic at the same time.
Bulwark had already seen billions of lives lost, and yet never was a loss so tragic to him as Alice.
The Empress was holding Riley's hand, and she was afraid that she would completely lose it once she started to speak.
Megawoman, well, she felt like she had no right to talk as she barely knew Alice and was not even part of the Hope Guild. And… she was the one who ended her life. She had no right even talking about rights at all.
The four only stared at the grave in silence, all thinking they didn't deserve to speak.
A second.
A minute.
