He had lost a father. Did nobody care?
They were all sad for themselves, but they hadn't lost a father. No, not them: but him. Burter Junior was now just Burter. There wasn't a senior around anymore. But still, they would all cry for the next few hours, not even noticing the quiet young reptilian sitting with an emotion-less face on the bench. They would selfishly worry about themselves. This was humanity's real face.
Nobody cares.
While everyone conversed, or fought, or argued, or cried, the young reptilian laid back against the cold stony wall and just watching without a tear to be seen. He wouldn't hinder his father's name by crying over it; no, Burter would have wanted celebration. Burter had died in honour. In that moment, Junior promised he would die that way, one day.
Pathetic excuses.
Had they no shame? No reality? No realizations? They didn't die, why should they be sad? Such things puzzled the young man, as he had yet to be in this universe long enough to understand the answers.
"I love you, daddy," he whispered. A single tear almost broke free, but the strong inexperienced fighter refused to let it fall on his proud father's name. "I'm so proud."
Nobody car-
"Hey, kid, you okay?"
...maybe someone does.
(left open for whoever gets it)
