The Final Curtain

[Radzig 747]

Henry is simply, and truly, distraught at the news. His mother, whom was not his mother, was gone in a rather disturbing manner in all it's simplicity. A death on the field is a death of honor, a death of old age is a death of peace, a sickly death is a pitiful one. Henry put away the jewelry he had bought his ill Aunt, seemingly too late to gift her such. Henry mourns. 

[Esterlen 4499]

A despondent George Kovachev drinks himself under the table on hearing of his youngest daughter's death. A nervous wreck, the huge aristocrat is heard by his attendants to say only one thing, constantly repeated.

 

"It seems that everything is collapsing around me."
