i'm so sorry

sage
what happened?
how do you know he's dead?

sirius
kreacher came to james's, said he found regulus's body last night

sage
whose fucking body did kreacher find
wait, kreacher's probably in on it, duh
[DELETED]
how'd he die?

sirius
suicide, apparently
kreacher gave me the note
"i'd rather die than have to hurt anyone i love"

sage
oh, love, i'm so sorry

sirius
he really loved me
i could have sworn he hated me

sage
of course he loved you

sirius
can you arrange a funeral for him?
just with our friends?
i'm sure my mum is planning something, but i want something just for us
the people that actually loved him and cared about his happiness

sage
sure

anything you need, sage

someone needs to bring flowers, someone needs to bring food
and someone needs to be in charge of eulogies
i'm writing one but other people need to eulogize him, too
it can't just be me

sagey, love, none of us knew him as well as you and sirius did
it wouldn't be right for us to eulogize him
