I hadn't been expecting an answer. But then Marvin's low voice came from beside me.
"No. You can't take one individual and judge an entire group based on them. That kind of thinking is biased. You can question my character, but don't jump to conclusions about me. Let time prove everything."
I stayed silent for a long moment after hearing that. There was something about his words that lingered in my chest.
Finally, I said, "It makes sense. I'll think about it. For now, let's go to see my mom."
Marvin nodded. "Alright."
Behind us, Larry's voice broke through the wind. "Freda! Freda, don't leave me!"
He kept screaming my name, over and over again, even though I never turned back.
We had only just reached the grave when Larry arrived, nearly tripping over himself as he rushed toward us.
