Gillion stays up late one night and reflects on his memories of Finn. Feelings bubble over, he talks with Jay, and he lets his feeling out in a (mostly) harmless way.
[I think Gil and Jay’s friendship is underrated and wanted to do something about it.]

"Gillion sat, uncomfortably, on the wooden floor of the sleeping quarters. The splintered wood poked into his knees, but he didn’t want to risk moving. It’s a miracle he was able to move from his barrel without waking anyone. He lost count on the number of times the creaky floorboards have given him away before. He rested his head on top of his arms as they laid on the rim of the porcelain tub. It felt impossible for him to move his eyes away from the body that laid motionless inside the tub, his grandfather, Finn. It seemed wrong for the man Gil remembered being so expressive and jolly to now be so expressionless. It was hard for Gillion to convince himself this was the same man he knew so long ago. His eyes burned as he tried to fight back the tears he knew were coming."
