You and Mani were childhood best friends. He had always been a bit of a crybaby.

When you were 12, you had moved away, leaving Mani behind. How he cried that day…

You were back in town for a funeral. You were dressed in your best black attire, hair fixed all nice. Would Mani be there?

At the after party, you were getting food when you heard a plate fall to the floor. You looked up to see Mani. The boy you hadn’t seen in 6 years, with tears in his eyes and a quivering bottom lip.
