It has been a few hours since we sat at the table together. He was sitting on a chair near the fireplace while I sat on a chair near some old bookshelves. Silence filled the room, except for the sound of his carving faintly piercing through the void of noise. I couldn't help but break the silence, asking him about what happened to the world.

The people were kind, helpful and everyone was just there for each other. There was a candy shop, one of the best in the land, ran by old man Mr. Millio and his wife. I would visit them all the time, however when all this began… they were some of the first to pass. Then it was my parents, then the guards. I watched them all die while I lived on in this suit. I miss them all, and when you found me; yes I knew you saw me, I was visiting their graves. I buried each and every one of them in the citadel.

We just wished we knew more though. It was too late though…"
