That evening Cedric and his family all returned to the Capital along with their friends and families. It seemed odd that someone they had just met had such a big impact on all of them, in the case of Jam Lobo it was the quality of their friendship that beat out the quantity of time spent together.
Cedric and Miguel sat in silence in Mountain View's home bar, pouring each other a glass.
"Do you regret trying to save him?" Cedric asked Miguel. He knew his friend was being plagued by his own thoughts on Jam's death.
"No, of course not. I just -" Miguel paused and took a deep breath. "It's just that I feel like I could have done more."
