*1 month later*

Everything was back to normal in the Loud House. Lincoln's relationship with his sisters has grown stronger. They all get along with each other very well. Bobby, Clyde, and Ronnie Anne were glad that Lincoln was okay. Lincoln was walking down the stairs, holding flowers in his hand, and was about to head outside.

"Where are you going?" Lola ask. All of the other sisters were behind her. Lincoln decided that he has to come out clean.

"I am going to the cemetery." He answered.

"To visit who?" Lucy ask.

"Someone....we knew." Lincoln said. "I am walking there."

"Hold it twerp." Lori said. "We are coming with you and we are taking the van."

"Okay." Lincoln accepted. All of the siblings took a seat in the van and Lori started driving. Everyone was quiet. Lincoln broke the silence, just so he can answer his sisters.

"Alright, you are all probably wondering why I'm heading there." He said.

"We all would like to know why." Lisa said.

Lincoln took out his phone and shows everyone a news article. He highlighted the name.

"You want to visit him?" Luna said.

"Of course, it's not his fault. He had no one to talk to." Lincoln said. All of the sisters took a deep thought of this.

"I agree with Lincoln." Lynn said.

"So do we." The twins added. Everyone else later agreed. Lori then drove to a flower shop.

"You guys are gonna pay your respects too?" Lincoln asks.

"Of course, we forgive and forget." Lori said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the flower shop and half an hour of the road, the Loud siblings had finally arrived at the cemetery. Lincoln was in front of his sisters, leading them, and saw the tombstone he was looking for.

Here lies

Anthony Aker

R.I.P

Lincoln walks closer and prepares himself to speak.

"Hey Anthony." Lincoln said. "You wondering why I'm here....I'm here to pay you my respects. I wanna say.... I'm sorry for how your life was." Lincoln had tears forming in his eyes.

"I just wish that I could've help you. Your life could've been saved. You didn't had to face being alone. No one wants to be alone." He continued. He placed the flowers on the ground and stepped back. Lori was next.

"Anthony." Lori said. "I'm the oldest in my family, and I treat all of my younger siblings very well. If you were my brother, I would treat you right."

Lori then thought of Anthony's brother.

"Your brother is literally the worst brother ever! He should've been sent to prison for what he did, he should've been away from you, he should've never been born, he-" Lori was yelling in fury.

"Lori, calm down!" Lincoln put a hand on her shoulder. Lori had tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I just....lost it." She apologized. Lori placed her flowers on the ground and stepped back near Lincoln.

Later, one by one. Each Loud sister spoke to Anthony, placing their flowers on the ground, saying they are sorry for what happened to him. 

Leni felt bad for him. 

Luna says it's sad and tragic that no cared about him.

Luan told him jokes, hoping to cheer him up.

Lynn said that if she ever encounters his brother, she will give him a big beatdown. 

Lucy says that he took his position of being a Reaper out of loneliness and anger, and she doesn't blame him for it. 

The twins couldn't say anything because they were too emotional and were crying.

Lisa says she would want to ask him questions of being a Reaper. 

Lily, just babbles words.

"Anthony, we all forgive you for what happened a month ago." Lincoln said, with all of his sisters agreeing.

"Alright, it's time to go." Lori said. Before they could leave, they felt the wind was blown on them.

"Looks like he heard us." Lucy said. They all smiled and walked away from the tombstone, now surrounded with flowers.

Behind the trees was a figure. The figure was wearing a robe with a hood on. The figure was watching the Loud family talking to Anthony's tombstone earlier. The figure watched the family leaving the cemetery and entering their van, driving away.

"Thank you Louds." The figure said. "It's nice that someone cares."
