Next morning, in the room, Yukesh slowly opens his eyes. He stares at the ceiling for a while, then starts to cry. The pain, the grief, the moment when he thought he would have to live alone, the moment when he thought he should have cherished the moments they were together. The guilt of not stopping both of them, the guilt of not spending enough time.
He cried and cried for hours. His eyes are red and swollen from all the crying. When he stops crying, he starts to think about Mary. His heart sinks further.
"How should I tell her about this? I have called Aunt Mariya to take her to her house when she returns. But I cannot keep her in the dark forever. Maybe Aunt Mariya can help me," Yukesh thinks.
As he turns to the side, his eyes land on a paper and a crystal on top of it. He remembers the incidents from the previous night and feels embarrassed. The person whom he should have respected was disrespected by him. He starts to justify his actions, "No, uncle should have stopped them." But deep in his heart, he knows his parents wouldn't have stopped even if his uncle had tried.
After thinking for a while, he gets up from his bed and reaches out for the paper. The paper is the letter from his uncle from yesterday.
______******
Yukesh,
I know you are having different thoughts, guilt, and blaming yourself. But you should move forward. I am sure your parents would have been sad if they were here and knew your condition. I have known your parents for many years, and I can tell you their thoughts in a portion. They would have smacked you in the face if they saw you in that condition. They would blame themselves and would have been guilty for making your condition like that. So, if you do not want to make your parents guilty, then you should compose yourself.
The stone on the table is the last gift prepared for your awakening. Your parents have been preparing this for the whole 6 years. They want you to be strong and not be bullied by power. They wanted you to use that in the awakener ceremony, but I thought it would be alright to give it to you now. You should absorb it when you are emotionally stable and alright. And don't worry, all your university work will be handled by my butler. At least let me do that as a portion of my apologies.

After reading the letter, many emotions are bursting within him. His heart wants to cry once again, but after reading the letter, he feels like he shouldn't.
Leaving the letter in his pocket, he stares at the crystal - round shape, blue in color, and glowing.
"I knew that Father and Mother had prepared something amazing, but what are the attributes of this crystal and what skill will it give?" wonders Yukesh.
Soon, he puts aside his thoughts and leaves his bed to go straight for a shower.
Just as he exits the room, he is surprised.
"Who cleaned the house?" Yukesh thinks as he stares at the empty hall and kitchen. Yesterday, he was too unstable to think and examine the surroundings, but now he is completely surprised. The room is cleaned, everything is placed perfectly, and there is a pleasant fragrance in the air. Then he feels guilt when he remembers the guest.
"I should apologize soon," he thinks.
Tat-tat-tat... As he is in his mind, the knock on the door rings into his ears.
"Who would come at this hour?"
Tit-tat...
"I am coming, wait."
He opens the door, and there is a familiar face in front of him.
"You are the mister from yesterday."
"Hello, Mr. Yukesh. How are you feeling today?"
"I am doing quite good. I decided to stand for my sister."
"That is a good decision, Mr. Yukesh."
"Uncle Leo, right?" Yukesh asks, trying to remember.
"Indeed, Mr. Yukesh."
"Ahh, please come in, uncle."
"Wait, Mr. Yukesh. You can call me Yukesh only, right, sir?"
"Okay, Yukesh. Today I have visited to inform you that the master has decided to have a funeral for his friends, and we want to confirm from you. Yesterday, one of the companions of your mother in the dungeon regained consciousness, and he explained the whole situation in the media."
Hearing Leo's statement, Yukesh again completely drowns in sadness. Seeing this, Leo speaks again.
"My master wants to at least give them a good resting place and sends me here to hear your thoughts, Yukesh."
Hearing this, he thinks for a while and opens his mouth.
"Uncle Leo, even if I decide to have a funeral without others' help, it will be incomplete and instead will become a mess. So, I am happy to hear Uncle Kinneth's concern regarding this situation. I will be more than happy to receive his help."
"Thank you for giving us this pleasure, Yukesh," says Leo, and Yukesh bows at a 90-degree angle to express his gratitude on behalf of his master.
"Uncle... Leo, please, you don't have to do this," says Yukesh as he panics.
After straightening up, Leo says, "Sir had already expected the reaction and grief you would experience upon hearing the info, and don't worry about yesterday. Not like guardians get mad at their children."
Hearing this, shock comes to Yukesh's face. What Leo means is that from now, Kinneth will provide the safety and necessities for them.
"No, Uncle, how can I receive that? I would be in huge debt if you do that."
"No, Yukesh. master told me to tell you that he at least wants that much, and there is no take back."
Hearing the response, he goes into deep thought.
"And, Mr. Yukesh, but hearing the sound of Leo, he soon comes to his senses."
"The papers of your university have all been sorted out, and you will receive them soon. Also, the master has ordered me to ask you when will you use your Awakening stone. You can take that at our headquarters if you want."
"Thank you, Uncle Leo. I will take that offer," he replies.
He doesn't want to go to the Awakener guild because there will be a huge crowd on that day, and now he doesn't feel like facing that.
"Okay, I will inform the master. Then I should take my leave, Yukesh. Until next time, stay healthy and strong."
"Okay, Uncle Leo," says Yukesh as he closes the door.

In the room, Yukesh stares at the crystal again and decides to meet his sister. He prepares himself and leaves his house.

He didn't know which family member that was, but he would reach out to him no matter what.
