Funeral Service for Adaman and Hodaka Morishima
[ An hour or two after the first trial's end, Hild and the Undertaker set out to invite as many people as possible to the Restaurant for the funerals of our dearly departed friends.
Why the restaurant of all places? Because there aren't enough chairs and tables elsewhere.
Indeed, some of the tables have been moved against the wall to make room for the seats. The chairs have been set up in four rows of six, like an improvised theater or a church. To the side, a small buffet has been set up courtesy of Obi, Mafuyu, and Hild. As for the main event? Two tables have been set up and decorated in black fabric and white flowers. In lieu of a live viewing, two drawings referenced from the profiles have been set up in the center of funeral wreaths... They're not the best, due to the artist's handicaps, but it does look like Adaman and Hodaka at least.]

When they finally arrive, Jonathan tears away from everyone else and sprints to the elevator, slamming the buttons and running off to his room and locks himself in before anyone can stop him.
Jonathan does not attend the memorial.
He only emerges late that night, around 4 am, after he makes sure that Suite 1 is completely empty of anyone in the living area. Jonathan silently makes his way to the garden to see the memorials, just staring at them both for several long minutes.
Before he collapses to the floor, sobbing hysterically.]
Closed to Forrest
Dear Forrest,
I wanted to formally apologize for my repulsive behavior today. I had said things that I regret and I am sorry for letting my emotions get the better of me. I am writing to you so you can deal with it how you want to. You may dispose of it or not, I will understand either way.
I wanted to particularly apologize about the statement of you abandoning me. I unfortunately had experience with trusting people and them turning around to stab me in the back, but I should not have taken it out on you. It was a horrid thing for me to say and I deeply regret it.
I am deeply sorry about your own hostage situation as well. I did not mean to disregard it the way I did. I should have found solidarity in the pain we have both experienced. We have both suffered and I did not mean to act like I only cared about myself.
You do not have to forgive me. I will not judge you if you think me a monster. But I did not want to die with such things unsaid.
Yours,
Jonathan Harker

Dear Jonathan,
Assume that you may do likewise with my response; read it, destroy it, or do something in-between. Whether it is read or not is ultimately up to you.
I do believe that emotions were running quite high at the trial, and as such many things were said that were either not clearly expressed or otherwise simply not what we meant to say. I do not believe you to be a monster, at the very least, nor do I believe that you're going to die anytime soon. I think it's clear no one wanted to take you up on that offer, at the very least, even if it was made in the interest of protecting those younger than yourself.
I do certainly agree that it's tasteless that we're being made to do this at all, and I didn't mean to insinuate that we should just all roll over and accept it. At the same time, please understand that I still believe acting on the incentives at all is a matter of personal choice, and as such I believe the culprits should be treated with compassion, but still found out in the first place. It would have been doing Adaman a disservice to do otherwise, and honestly I believe the guilt would have eaten Hodaka alive in the end.
I am sorry for arguing with you at such an inappropriate time, and likewise for calling you a disgrace. I know how it feels to be called such things to your face, and I didn't like it when it was done to me, so I shouldn't be doing it to others. I'm also sorry that your wife was involved in this; let's say that's another thing I understand.
Hopefully we can speak more moving forward.
Yours,
Forrest

Forrest,
I thank you for accepting my letter. It still pains me when I think about how ungentlemanly I was at the trial. It was not fair to you, to Adaman, to anyone.
As well, I did not mean to insinuate that we should not look for Adaman's killer, or that he did not deserve justice. I just could not stop thinking about what Hagakure said. While we did not know the full story, I realized that Fontaine would be likely to kill whoever was the culprit, even though no one here would likely even consider murder without Fontaine's pressure.
I suppose I knew I could not hate the killer from the beginning. My Mina is everything to me, and while I did not pull the trigger, I realized that I could never truly hate the culprit, no matter what their reasoning was. I hate to admit it, but even if it turned out that they were a horrid murderer who killed Adaman for their own sick enjoyment, I would not be able to deny that they did save her and twenty-four other people.
I am sorry for not making that point across in a more level headed manner, particularly since it would not have mattered in the end. And I forgive you for the things you called me. We may have disagreements, but at the end of the day we are still captives under the same madman. I mustn't ever forget that.
Yours,
Jonathan Harker

Oh, Jonathan, Dandy came to visit! Do you want to see him as well, or should I tell him to take his snacks and go?
[ He's already in, Nandor! You let him in! You're a vampire, you know exactly how this works! His face doesn't smile to match his voice, and he looks mistrustfully at the ice cube bag. ]
Gonna drip all over the floor...

The Garden
As for the man himself... Well. It seems he had some trouble sleeping and slipped out in the middle of the night. He decides to visit the gardens on a whim, thinking he would be alone with his thoughts.
Instead, there is a sobbing Jonathan.
The Undertaker dares not make a sound as he approaches. He doesn't even try to scare him. He just stands nearby, allowing the poor man to grieve. ]
no subject
O-oh, I am so sorry, I can get out of your way now.
[He begins to get up to leave.]
no subject
[ ... He smiles gently when he's close enough. ]
Thought you could use some company, though. Mind if I sit with you?
no subject
[He sits down on a nearby bench, staring at nothing in particular.]

She looks over her shoulder once, then twice, making sure there aren’t any tiny eyes to see such a sight. Then, with what can only be described as a mournful wail, she falls to her knees beside him.
Lady Blackhawk lets her mask slip. She lets her grief spill out.]
no subject
His crying starts up again, but now he clings onto Zinda tightly, as if worried that he will lose her too if he lets go.]
no subject
And those kids? Were just kids. It’s hard not to cry for that. So she tugs Jonathan in, squeezing him back fiercely as she doesn’t hold back her tears.]
I gotchu, Cuz. Don’t worry.
no subject
Why... why did Fontaine have to bring children to this Hell? It's simply not fair!

Garden
As friendly as Obi is and as casually physical as he can be, affectionate gestures don't come naturally to him. All he can think to do is deliberately scrape his foot along the path to announce his presence and come to crouch next to Jonathan, uncharacteristically somber.]
no subject
Sorry Obi, I had no idea you were here.
no subject
No apology necessary, Your Honor. It's not like I announced myself.
[After a moment, he unclips the small cape he wears on his shoulder and wraps it around Jonathan instead.]
Can't sleep, huh.
no subject
I'm afraid not. I could not close my eyes without seeing witnessing the horror those poor children had to go through. How I desperately wished I could have done something to stop any of this from happening.
[He exhales gently.]
I assume you are in a similar situation as me to be up at this hour?
