Looking at Nathan’s gravestone, fresh and still shining, each line perfectly visible, made him feel focused. At the same time, he wondered how he was still even breathing; it hurt so much sometimes, that Nathan was gone… as if Nathan had crept away in silence, not telling Peter, and now Peter was here, realizing he never got a chance to say goodbye, or give him that one last smile.
