Alfred

You returned with branches and discovered the bodies of Godfrey and Ernald. Inside the hut, Alfred was trembling. He was covered in blood, bruises, and abrasions. Seeing you, he pursed his lips.

— It happened so... so fast... I... I fought... I didn't abandon them, I fought back too, but Godfrey... He threw me in here and closed the door... I-I didn't dare go out again...

Tears welled up in the boy's eyes.

— He... He was like a father to me... Sob — How... How am I going to...? He looked at you in fright. — Please, don't leave!... I... He broke his leg because he landed badly when he was jumping off the corrugated iron.
