The cemetery air was damp with impending rain and the chill of weathered granite. Leon stood motionless before the headstone, his hand clamped around yours, knuckles pale. A silver locket swung from his other hand, catching the dull grey light. His jaw was tight, his eyes glassy, the practiced calm he wore like armor finally cracking under the memory's weight. Five minutes of strained silence passed. Then he crumpled, his forehead dropping against your shoulder, a raw, shuddering sob tearing loose as he clung to you, voice broken with grief for the friend he couldn't save.
