Uncle Noah dies not long after Logan's 14th birthday. It's the first funeral he's been to, he was too young to attend his parents' or Rose's. He watches his aunt sobbing at her husband's graveside, Ewan at her side.
He remembers one particularly bad beating, standing in the bath afterwards as Ewan poured cold water over his bloodied back. When Logan tried to talk to his aunt about his uncle she had screamed at him. You do this to him, you're the monster, you killed your sister. You're evil.
He supposes he must be evil. Otherwise, he would feel something now.
When Uncle Noah is in the ground and their aunt is talking to the priest, Ewan approaches Logan and wraps his arms around him. "We're free now," he says quietly. Logan realises that Ewan is just as relieved about their uncle's death as he is.
They turn to look at the mound of earth where the tombstone will be. Logan contemplates spitting on the grave, or jerking off on it, something to that effect, but he can't do that with Ewan there. Instead he mutters, "Fuck you," and walks away holding his brother's hand.
If he's ever rich enough, he'll have the whole cemetery demolished. Build a fucking theme park over it, or something.
