In that moment my smile was but a shadow of my frown,"I do not care to reason with their killers as one does not care to know why the sun shines only at dawn." San hugged me as a lioness would to her cub. The tears would not stop, dammit!"I cannot apologize for I am not at fault, yet apologetic is the strongest I feel at the moment. Do smile dear, for life gives misery as it gives joy. This, the grief that overwhelms even the best of us,"she held my face with so much tenderness my lips twitched,"This, is misery. All you have to do is wait for the joy, for life may be cruel but it is never unfair." Those were the last word a dead woman spoke to me,yet I failed to regret a single moment of that night's events.
