The funeral was held in Q City, and not a single custom from the hometown was omitted. Arlong and Mario Yuno mainly took charge of the arrangements, with Kiara being accompanied by Edward Wheeler "Bright Clarity" throughout the process. Arlong's savings had all been spent on Rico Clark's treatment fees, leaving him with no money. Kiara contributed quite a lot to finance the burial.
All the relatives from the Clark Family came; despite being nowhere to be found during Rico Clark's downfall, they all showed up after his passing, crying at the top of their lungs. As for whether their grief was genuine or not, it no longer mattered at this point.
The man had become a handful of ashes lying in a small box; all the rights and wrongs of his life had turned to smoke. Kiara watched these people cry, not shedding a single tear herself.
