Roy stared down at the casket that held his best friend. What was he supposed to do now? Vaguely he heard Maes's voice telling him to live. The majority of the people were long gone and he could hear Gracia trying once again to explain to Elycia where her daddy had gone. He knew he had to say good bye but he knew it wasn't forever.

Live and help take care of Gracia and any children they had should the need arise. He doffed his cap and saluted the grave one last time.
