It was a box.
I almost fall over. "What? All that wrapping for a box? What's in it?"
Diagr frowns. "I'm sorry, sir, but I do not know. I was told not to open it."
I groan. "What a waste." Nodding towards my horse, I say, "Wait over there. I'll take you home."
Diagr bows his head and packs the bundle up. He then hurried off to the graveyard's exit.
I smile at his retreating figure and turn to the grave behind me. "Hello, Sebastian, brother," I say, kneeling down. "It's been a very long time, hasn't it? Oh wait, it's only been at least 5 days."
I laugh to myself. I set the flowers and coffee down in front of the stone. "You know, it's been seriously hard without you," I tell Sebastian. "Dad asked if I would forgive him for everything, so I did. I know, I'm stupid. And also, he went all wacko and bought me a really rude prototype D.O.L.L.!"
The wind blows and I hold into my hat. "Look, I even still have my hat!" I say cheerfully. "I know I'm forgetful and irresponsible but I managed to keep it on my head the entire time!"
I laugh a couple more times and then sigh. "Anyway, about that D.O.L.L., he's so annoying and stupid. Wait actually not stupid, he's a robot. Mom died too, but I'm not sure that's important. Sigrid visited too. I'm pretty sure you needed to know that because she almost never comes. And that kid Diagr? I didn't even know Dad did the secrets thing. Is he into smuggling or all that fun stuff?" I ask.
I get no answer.
Well, of course.
I'm ranting to a rock.
And my brother.
I smile and stand. "Well, thanks anyways for listening, Sebastian! I can always talk to you. I'll be back soon, maybe tomorrow, with some more coffee. Black, right? Yeah, so see you tomorrow!" I say, patting the grave and skimming the inscription.

My eyes suddenly begin to tear up and I hurriedly wipe them. I stand, smile one last time and say, "See you later!" before heading to Diagr and my horse.
