Brunch was a splendid affair for us, though not so much for the officials of Khisba; the citizens were still blissfully unaware of what had happened, and I didn't envy the work they had before them for this piece of news that they needed to break to their people.
Perhaps it was because they weren't 'my people', or perhaps it was just because I was always - and will always - more worried about the emotions and health of Anput, Leone and Jahi than anyone else whenever we were out and about, and the rest of my family whenever we were at home.
I didn't have a good amount of empathy anyways to go around sharing it with random people, and the little bit that I had left over from caring for those close to me tended to be barely enough to fuel a single reaction for random people, let alone an entire city of people I didn't know anything about.
