No one sings for him after he dies, because no one really knows that he is dead. There are whispers, of course – when are there not – but no one really knows for sure, and the one person who does is in no shape to be telling. He’s holding the Sword in his hands, the Shield shimmering around him, and he knows, he knows, that it won’t be enough, that it’s too late to turn back the clock and that there is no salvation for any of them, but that’s just the way things are.
