Monday DE: You shouldn't speak ill of the dead, so I'm not speaking

Mlrgh.

Remember: Blue Monday isn't real and can't hurt you! It's just a marketing trick!

Also Remember: Monday is real and can hurt you. Drink some water and take your meds (where relevant).

And, while I'm being cheery...

Your character's worst enemy/most-hated foe is dead. What do they feel and how do they react? (And did they do it?)

Lan Zhan: Stoic as fuck. He didn't do it, but he isn't shedding any tears. He's sorry he's brother is going to mourn someone who doesn't deserve it, but you know, that's just gonna be something they all have to live with.

Zenigata: This really depends. If it's early in his career, Zenigata will be bawling and broken up, because his greatest hate is also his greatest love. He will be at the funeral. He'll weep at the graveside service. Doesn't Lupin understand that he has to catch him? He can't catch a corpse!

Later on in life: "He isn't dead, we just don't know what his game is this time." He'd wait. Patiently. Years even, before he'll admit Lupin is dead. About the five year mark he will actually start to sweat. Hunt down Jigen and Goemon, Fujiko. Demand answers. By the time year six or seven has gone past, he will hit the skids hard and slide deep into depression and alcoholism. He failed. He failed and he lost his best friend in the process. By then Ami will be grown, he'll retire from interpol, and spend his remaining years drinking himself to death if Lupin is really gone.

Zuko: He extended his hand to Zhao, who tried to murder him. His father, who abused him for years. Azula, who set him up time and again, abused him, and put him in harms way not caring if he died.

He didn't shed tears for Zhao, but his father? It'll be an awkward and unhappy mourning as Firelord Ozai passes as a prisoner instead of a king. Zuko will probably experience a deep bout of depression, and he'll experience it again when Azula finally snuffs it.
