Hastig begruben sie ihn, keinen Augenblick länger als nötig verweilten die Burschen an seinem Grab.
Merten allein blieb zurück.
Das 2. Jahr - Am Ende Der Reihe.
They buried him hastily, and the boys did not linger a moment longer than necessary by his grave.
Merten alone stayed behind.
The 2nd Year - At The End of The Row.

So, I don't quite enjoy how Merten was the only one who stayed behind. Michal cared for Krabat, but especially for Witko too. Very similar with how Tonda cared for Krabat during his first year- until The Master caught on with Michal thanks to a certain snitch...
I think there should have been some hesitance from Krabat, but especially Witko to leave his grave at least...
