The Mastermind
Kyle chose to stay until the end, for obvious reasons.
The two girls stayed by his side, silently supporting him.
Their prescence in the front row seat also gave Lianne and Joseph some comfort. They didn't need to do anything. Just being there, steady, was enough for them.
As they had to stay there the entire day, Kyle would often go out and get food for the kids. It was something easy to eat, and light, like sandwiches. He even got their favourites. For Lianne, it was custard cream pie and for Joseph, it was a local fried dessert known as 'karipap', or curry puffs. In Joseph's case, he liked the fillings to be of potato.
Both of them accepted his kind gesture without a thought, not even wondering how he knew what they liked eating. They were too numb.
