Blue Jay sat in a bar, his preferred drink lied still in the glass as he tried to drown himself in the alcoholic drink. It's been twelve hours since his sister died in his arms. Silent Care took her back to her room after he came back in. They declared her dead at seven-thirty on the dot, but he came clean to clear his conscience and to not let her memory be disgraced by the wrong time of death.

The bar door opened as a thestral walked in with her nurse uniform still on. She didn't go home before going to the bar, rumors of the stallion who killed his sister was still in there. She knew all too well he didn't kill her, but the town was known to start rulers from time to time and when they did; it would be blown way out of proportion.

She walked up to him and sat down beside him as he took a sip from the alcohol inside the glass. Slightly damp fur matted his face from the tears as he started with a hollow gaze at the wall. Silent Care had been demoted due to her coming clean about her help in taking Sunny Meadow.

"Have you heard the rumors?" She asked the two didn't have to worry about being heard, they were the only ones in the bar. No one wanted to be in the same room as a presumed murderer. "Ponies say you killed her." The hospital won't come out with the information regarding her death saying "it will teach that boy a lesson". Complete bull shit if you ask me." He didn't say a thing as the one-sided conversation continued between the two. "They're willing to destroy your life to make you learn something. Everyone turned their backs on you. The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Fluttershy, and Twilight are trying to prove that you didn't kill her." His hands shook as tears threatened to come forth once again.

"I'm sorry." He said as tears fell from his eyes as he downed the rest of the alcoholic beverage. He had nothing anymore and he dragged somepony down with him. It hurt... It hurt him so much that it was unbearable. Each second felt like a new knife rammed into his heart, but he was considering doing the same thing. 

Because of his actions, those his sister was close to had to clean up his mess and couldn't grieve properly. He was scared to let anyone close now. He just lost the only thing that kept him going, the reason he kept going in his path, and the main reason he even got his Cutie Mark. He was a blank flank for years even after the turned twenty. His sister asked him to watch the birds with him and he immediately fell in love with it. He may have not liked his job very much, but he endured it for her. Now... He had nothing.

These thoughts plagued him as he rested his hands on his proper up hands and silently cried. It continued for many minutes as the mare rubbed his back to comfort him the best way she knew how. His silent sobs slowly turned into loud whales as guilt and lose piled on top of each other. 

Silent Care pulled him into a hug to help him. She had asked Twilight to contact Celestia as she made her way there to comfort him. It was all she could do as he leaned into her and buried his face into her solder as she did all she could to help him. She could only hope Celestia or Luna could help him, but now, she had a stallion to save.
