Chapter 177: A Few Answers

After midnight, Noir was buried in a small ceremony, on the grounds of the Lumin estate.

Only Kir, Sam, Kordia, Amarena, and Stella attended, with Lumin standing nearby.

Sam was distraught. Kir couldn't blame them. They were pregnant. They'd lost all their friends.

Kir wished he could have been more present, but he'd been exhausted. He slept all through the day until evening, when he finally awoke to take care of his needs. Then, once more, he'd slept, until the next morning when Lumin arrived for a visit.

He'd been lying there with Kordia and Stella, who were still sleeping. He was staring up at the canopy over the bed, trying not to think. Amarena was passed out on the couch. Last night, they'd done little things to comfort each other.
