I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Maria, you are absolutely right on the burden of dealing with other mourners. Family isn't too bad, but there's a lot of performative grief that is being laid on my sister & nieces by people who barely knew A, and it's so hard on them. I get the impulse, but seriously, do people not understand basic courtesy?
