(Fives POV)

What was that? All I wanted to do was talk to her.

I sigh and suck it up. I'll tell her later.

I go outside to the courtyard.
I see Mary just standing there looking at the casket in horror and guilt.

Yes, I'm sad that Ben died. But, he did help me to marry well- Mary. I've always loved her. Ever since we were kids. I forgot why she hates me. I don't understand and I don't know how I've forgotten.

"Well children... I don't know what to say about this. None of you are such people. You all allowed number six to die on this mission. " Father says.

I look at Mary to see her eyes tearing up. I just want to go over there and give her a hug, I know she won't let me though.

"It wasn't our fault! " Allison raises her voice.
"Excuse? I shall not hear them. " father says raising his voice.
Mary starts crying in guilt.
Father, grace and pogo leave.
"Yeah, Allison's right. It's not our fault, it's Mary's. " Luther says.
"That's not true leave her alone Luther." Diego says darkly.
"Oh come on? We all know it's the truth." Luther says.

Thats done it.

"Do you shut the hell up Luther!? Don't you think she's upset enough as it is!? " I yell.

Everyone stares at me with shock.

(Mary's POV)

Wow, he really took up for me?

I stare at him in shock.
Five leaves and goes inside.

Everyone follows after him except me.

I give Ben a rose.

"I tried to find this before we train again.. " I say to Ben's statue. It starts raining.
"I'm sorry Ben.. " I say on the verge of tears.
