Actually, you know what? Screw that. I don't believe no one mourned Pyro. Because you're telling me Apo, Miss Body Language, looks down for a moment when she finds out it's Pyro who's dead for nothing? She's so good at showing her emotions, the guilt and fear and whatever else she needs to convey, through how she moves her body and how she positions herself. And that look down didn't mean anything?
She brushes it off quickly maybe. Says "I didn't know you had it in you," and almost sounds normal, but there was a split second where it seems to hit her. Pyro is actually dead. That thing she's been trying to do all episode has been accomplished. And I don't think she's fully happy about it.
Because Pyro was Apo's roommate, once upon a time. It was them in their wooden shell of a house. Apo confided in Pyro that she had only chose Oakhurst because she thought there would be no people there. They got excited over a pig together. There were the house-judging contest-based freakouts because their house wasn't great, and Apo comforts Pyro when he gets a little upset Avid docked a point for the falling in the pig hole. Those were all very real things that happened.
They had done a lot to hurt each other and their friendship was deeply damaged by the time Pyro died, but it was there at one point. Apo goes out of her way to have a conversation with Pyro in episode seven and only settles on killing him once it becomes clear he's trying to kill her. When she's chasing him down in episode 8, she tells him he could've stayed with her in the village. Pyro says the vampires would have turned on him eventually, and Apo tells him he should have stayed with the humans. This implies Apo at least wouldn't have been against him, had he not showed her he was a vampire by chasing her down and drinking from her. The evolution from early episode Apo insisting Pyro wasn't a vampire, he was her roommate, to this one saying she would've kept him around anyway if things had just gone differently (they would have never gone differently, they were doomed from the moment Pyro was turned first).
And through any of that, any conversation they've had over the past eight episodes or an emotionally-charged house burning or Apo choosing Pyro specifically to test the humanity of, I'm supposed to believe Apo wouldn't be just a little sad? That she wouldn't care at all?
Apo always going to remember Martyn and Ren, of course. The way they went out was haunting and Sausage at least blames her for it, and it's horrible that it was her saving Martyn led to his death in the end. But I'm not believing Pyro's not another person who haunts her. If not the him he was at the end, the him that came to Oakhurst. The first human turned, the first person she failed to save. I believe she would mourn that human.
