"Shouldn't this be a joyous event for you elder Burke? I don't think it is appropriate to ruin it with tears". Mikeal advised, looking to the rest of the villagers who were also in tears after reuniting with their loved ones.
He doesn't get it!
This time he brought back their people like he had promised he was going to do. Ricus was the first to come out leading the rest of them to do so.
They came out one by one and reunited with their loved ones.
But! Mikeal had expected them to laugh and be joyous for reuniting with their loved ones. Rather, they all burst out in tears.
Why?!
'Did I assume wrong!'. He thought, perplexed by their reactions.
He doesn't understand! Lack of events had led Mikeal on the path of weakness when it comes to expressing expressions, especially the likes of one such as this.
This wasn't a place for him to be. He understood that he had no business being here.
