Rain - it always rains when we feel our worst, doesn't it? When we feel like the world can't go forward, when there's nothing left living for. Why does the sky cry with us? Why does the world have to heighten our sorrows by wallowing in our sadness? There's nothing but pain now; nothing but pain and torture.

It was a funeral only for close family and friends. Closed casket, no words said, no parting gifts or cries. He was there, then he was gone. End of story. No captions, no epilogues, no sequels. Game over.

I couldn't help but feel bad for her; his girlfriend, who had seen it all happen, right before her eyes - she was in the car with him when it happened. She was crying a river; maybe more, but the rain hid all of her tears. The poor girl, she was truly his one and only love; And she must have felt the same, with the way she was constantly breaking down. She probably felt like there was nothing left in the world for her, nothing more to keep her occupied or entertained; her life had ended the day his did.

And then there was his twin brother; poor, poor Ventus. He had it tougher than his girlfriend; losing your other half, the other half of your soul - it was enough to kill anything you ever had inside. They had been inseparable since birth, and nothing could ever really come in between them. Except death, of course. The look in his eyes, it was beyond heartbroken, beyond sadness. He was now only an emotionless puppet.

And worst of all, mom; she had cried herself dry, and now heaved an empty, painful howl. She lost her baby; her sweet, sweet baby boy. They say no pain is worse than losing your child; I can't imagine what it feels like for her.

I can't say that I don't miss him either; he was my brother, after all. He was my best friend, my family, and a portion of my heart. But just standing here, watching all these crying people; I just felt like I didn't fit in. I wasn't crying. I didn't feel sad, not much, anyway. I watched his casket lower into the ground without any emotion; I couldn't feel anything.

Maybe the sky was crying for me, since I didn't have it in me to cry in the first place. The rain represented my tears, which I held bottled up; so much rain, so many tears. So much pain, so much sorrow; I had to be strong for everyone, for everyone else. I would miss him dearly, my older brother, but there were all these people left alive; he'd want me to take care of them.

I smiled as the priest uttered the last prayer and a tear rolled down my face.
