Sobbing Quote by Emmy Laybourne
““Niko started sobbing. There is no other word for it. He just crumpled down over the legs of the dead soldier and sobbed. I didn't know what to do. I sat down. Sahalia went over and kind of rubbed Niko's back. Batiste kept screaming for Josie. Max was whimpering. He was in pain. Ulysses climbed down from the tree and went and got Max's boot from where it got stuck under the root, and for a long while, that's all the movement there was. Just fat Ulysses, trying to help his friend get his boot on.””
