"He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." - Aeschylus

Peter raised the shovel, and dropped in on top of Gilbert's grave. Another friend lost... another person Peter counted on... gone. Peter closed his eyes trying to avoid the tears falling down his face. But he kept going, knowing that Gilbert was likely at peace now... at least... he hoped.

Gilbert had helped him when he had first arrived in Yharnam, and now, now he was gone. Peter finished the grave and placed the shovel down on the side. The bodies of Gascoigne and Viola are close to Gilbert's grave... and a fourth grave. Likely Henryk's was close by. Peter knelt down, and looked at the four graves.

He looked towards the graves of Gascoigne and Viola... Father Gascoigne... the first Hunter he had fought, and the first time Peter had seen a man turn into a beast right in front of him. And then... his children, the elder sister Estelle and the younger child Charlotte. The guilt he felt from that incident still lurked within his gut... but... he needed to talk to them. See how they are doing. He was responsible for them now, and he was glad to have Eileen and Alfred helping out with them. He gazed towards Viola's grave for a moment, he never met her but... Peter shook his head, no point in dwelling on what could've been.

Peter turned to Henryk's grave. He hadn't dug the grave... but it was likely that Eileen had come back to do so. He only met Henryk once, and it was the last time they would ever meet. He was glad that Eileen had explained to Estelle what had happened to Henryk... but killing the uncle-figure to Estelle and Charlotte hadn't made Peter feel guilty... until Estelle had told him. Peter shook his head, and then looked towards Gilbert's grave.

The man who had told him where to go, who had given him the Flamesprayer that Peter had begun using in Old Yharnam against the Beasts who had fought back against him. Peter grasped Gilbert's grave.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry" Peter muttered and stood up, as he left the four graves, and headed back up the steps from the Tomb of Oedon and towards the Oedon Chapel.

Before Peter had entered the chapel he saw Iosefka within the study, going over different notes, and with various equipment that she likely found when she was searching around. Iosefka spared a glance at Peter, and grabbed a blood vial, before placing it on the table for Peter to take.

"My own version of the Blood Vial, I gave you one earlier, if you ever need more come back and I will... for now, I only have one ready" Iosefka said,

"Thank you" Peter answered, as he grabbed the Blood Vial, and placed it next to the Vileblood Vial.

Peter moved out from the study and into the main chapel where the rest of the residents were staying. Estelle and Charlotte stood together tucked into a corner with some blankets kept together for them, with both daughters sleeping soundly. The Dweller sat in his same spot while Arianna was seen gripping her gut with Eileen trying to comfort her. While the Old Lady was mumbling to herself and Adella was doing the same.
