Decided to split this into three parts because I realized the first part was fucking long...
sorry about that.

"Wake up!" said Ludwig shaking his brother violently
"WAKE UP!"
Feliciano pulled Ludwig back.
At six in the morning again Ludwig woke everyone up. Everyone knew today no one was messing around. Ludwig tried to wake up his brother. Gilbert was tangled in his sheets his body facing away from everyone.
Gilbert was usually a deep sleeper but considering what happened yesterday Ludwig thought he'd be on his toes more.
After a few minutes of shaking Ludwig was able to roll over his big brother and then it was obvious.
His face was grey and when they checked he had no pulse.
Ludwig was a man but Gilbert was his big brother, his only family, and his rock. So he cried. He cried when they put his body in the trash shoot. And he watched as his brother's lifeless body floated away.
For the rest of the day, Ludwig sulked in the bunk bed.

"Thank you for coming and trusting me," said Alfred
"Anything to get away from my sister," Ivan half-joked
Alfred chuckled.
"Hey could you not tell anybody about you know," said Alfred
"About what?" asked Ivan
"Well me crying,"
"I have no idea what you talking about," Ivan winked
Alfred blushed slightly and grabbed Ivan's hand.

Feliciano walked into the room. He knew this could go either really bad or really good, but with people dying and no means of communication, he knew they needed a leader. If Lugwig continued to go down this spiral of depression, the whole ship would go down too. And Felix is not ready to die.
"My brother was killed too you know," said Feliciano
Ludwig just laid there on his bunk bed that he use to share with his brother, trying not to cry.
"He was in a gang in Italy where I was born, he wanted better for my ill mom, and me. I was only five. He fell in love with a man and he was going to marry him but he didn't want our lives to be threatened. So he took us to America. But they found him and they killed him. My mom was sick but we think she died of a broken heart. Funny how things work like that isn't it?"
"He was like a father to me," said Ludwig curling up into a tinner ball
Feliciano walked over and sat on Ludwig's bed.
"Our parents had us many years apart, twelve to be exact. They could barely take care of one so they deiced to give me up for adoption. Then they deiced they didn't want Gilbert either after twelve years of raising him. He was my big brother. We never went to separate families and we barely got a family that wanted us. He was convinced our parents would come back. They didn't and by the time he reached eighteen he got his own place and he adopted me. He taught me how to read, he tied my shoelaces, and then we got excepted by the same space company. We were going to be the most famous and rich brothers and we could finally take care of each other without a worry in the world but now-" Ludwig choked back a sob
