Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Lion realized that the other had seen them sobbing like that. They nearly coughed up blood, their faces turning red at a visible speed.
They wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and disappear forever rather than endure this humiliation any longer.
After these miserable brothers stood in awkward stalemate for a while, they slowly rose to their feet and discreetly wiped away the tears on their faces, as though nothing had happened.

Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Lion exchanged glances. They decided that after this was over, they would find The Savior together and discuss the matter with him.
Even if they had to beg, they would beg that brother
