I talked to the others and was hit with some news that made me temporarily forget everything else, and ignore every thing that was said after that. Victor was dead. I was honestly not entirely sure how to react. I wasn't sure what had changed. Had his death had anything to do with the recent help he had given me?
I wandered away from the group, and almost ran into Tessa, who looked at me curiously.

"Is something wrong?" I asked Maria, "Hello? Earth to Maria."
"Huh? Oh, Tessa," Maria responded, her usually cutting voice distracted and a bit sad. "I just found out that Victor died."
"WHAT?" I shouted. I continued in a quieter tone of voice, seeing Maria wince. "When? What happened?"
Maria was about to answer, when someone rounded the corner.
