Burial
I put him in the ground today, the abused body gone well after the soul. I stand a moment and remember it all: the way he moved, the way he touched, the way only the music really mattered.
Perhaps he was stronger than me, though I still inexplicably walk this planet's surface. Did it all go for nothing?
I should know words for this, after all what am I? But I can't say them. A tune perhaps, but that was always him, never me.
I hang the horn from the stone, shoulder my own burden and leave him behind.
Explanatory note: Wolfwood's POV. In the manga Wolfwood and Midvalley rebel against Legato. Midvalley is killed and his body re-animated by Legato, and eventually Wolfwood buries him.
