Kartiel didn't say anything.
I took that as an answer.
I looked up at Bo. Funerals weren't something I had even thought about - it wasn't like I had gotten one either time I died. But hearing Bo's voice break made me remember just how urgent it was for him to get home. Even without having this Kartiel guy coming to the afterlife for him, it was obvious Bo hadn't left behind a world of people who didn't care.
"It's...it's been a week," Kartiel finally said. "A week and a day. The...the funeral was just a few hours ago - I-I couldn't..."
He took a shaky breath.
"...I thought I lost you, too," he whispered. "Like all of my other friends. So I just wanted to see you one last time."
He looked back up at Bo.
"But now it's not the last time," he said, a smile to his voice.
