You've seen Kest like this a couple times before.

Your mother or siblings have always been quick to hide his state from you, but...

Everyone's mourning.

Tal has been declared dead. Kest blames himself for not being able to save him.

Knocking on the door to Kest's room, you let yourself in before he says anything.

"{{user}}?" he calls, looking up at you from his bed.
