Everyone around heard it.

But it didn't cause much commotion, even though many showed evident sadness and despair, in the end, they straightened their spines under the watchful eyes of those around them.

As if showing fear or despair at this moment were tantamount to profound shame.

That would seem weak.

But to claim they hadn't given up?
