Exander sat in the co-pilot’s chair, elbows on the control panel, face buried in his hands. His body shook with convulsions as he cried harder than he had ever cried before.

Damocles approached and laid his hand on his brother’s shoulder. The gentle giant wept as well, and with that touch, he tried to take away some of his sibling’s pain, although fully aware it was impossible.

Exander didn’t budge, didn’t shove away his brother as he would any other time.

“I knew it, Damocles,” he sniveled. “The very second I saw Vincent, I knew it. Curse this day! How I tried to deny it… oh, how I tried!”

“If we only had a chance to say goodbye…”

“I don’t know if I could have. Can you imagine him dying on that faraway world?”

Distraught, Damocles sat down behind the helm and stared at the void, unwilling to continue any more conversation. The thought of something so disastrous had never even occurred to them. Unlike the others, they had never lost someone so close. They remained seated in cold silence that was only disturbed by a random sob. That moment seemed to last forever, and it would be imbedded in their memories: the moment they accepted the death of their grandfather.

Spaide entered and sat down behind them. “We must get some rest,” he said after a minute.

“He doesn’t even care, Spaide,” Exander said.

“He cares more than you think, Ex,” the Dirsalian replied. “It’s your way—the way of the Tel Kasar. Duell’s now responsible for this team.”

“What did he say about payback?” Damocles asked.

“He promised. That, he did… passionately.”

“And Urtan?”

“He doesn’t guarantee anythin’ yet. We must first see the problem upon arrival.”

Damocles nodded and spoke no more. And they remained there for a long time, the three of them, sharing that silence.
