After a while, crying, Petey started saying all the things he was holding in himself. Petey said that his mama was the only person who was always by his side, that her kindness and love helped him cope with all the injustice of this world, that when she died he felt devastated, that it was important for him to visit her grave because he wants to honor her for all the good she did for him, that today he remembered all the bad things that he had done to his friends and others throughout his life, that he did not want to talk about his problems because he was not used to asking for help from anyone about his personal problems, that he wanted to be alone and deal with his worries on his own because he's used to being alone. As Petey was saying all this, the tension was building. Everyone was a little tense, but glad that Petey was finally starting to open up about his feelings.
