[_-] Master Chief is in [1] front of the [-ai] high school, in a state of 哀 grief, because his comrade was killed. On top of his usual armor is a black 衣 dress. I guess the funeral rental place ran out of suits. He isn't audibly crying, though. Always silent, even in 哀 grief. I wonder if he even has a 口 mouth at all under his helmet.
