"We should all be sorry, we all failed him." Katerina broke down, sobbing.
Cedric was quick to offer her comfort. She saw her as his little sister, one who was broken and now left alone.
They stood with Katerina as she let her emotions flow, her anger, her heartbreak, they felt it all with every sob and every tear.
At one point, she stopped crying and straightened herself.
Ian and Cedric were both confused by her actions. It was as if she was done grieving all of a sudden, as if she had moved on in the blink of an eye.
"I'm assuming people have been waiting for me to decide on what to do next?" Katerina asked as she cleared her throat and straightened her dress.
