After Erika's confession, she didn't pursued the topic anymore. It seemed that she realized it wasn't really fitting given the situation. And honestly a relationship at this age wasn't something she had in mind either. But perhaps she felt more relieved by having told me that. I reciprocated to her feelings, but she seems to have realized, similarly to how I think, that this wasn't really the time nor the appropriate age to think of such things. I guess Erika is way smarter than I make her up to be.
Her father's funeral ceremony began already. Not many people attended as nobody really knew him. Only our group of friends and our parents. But we were already a sizable group of people. My mother, father, grandmother, and twin siblings, Chris's father, mother, and little siblings, Eric's uncle, and aunt, Erdrich and Elizabeth's priests Jack and Seth, and… I think that was all.
