(YN) After Eliza passes away, I quickly find out from her kids that she wanted me to give her eulogy. Of course, I am panicking since I have not have had to give a speech since my rumble with Jefferson. As soon as we arrive at the funeral, I walk up and start my eulogy. " I just want to quickly apologize, I have not done this in years. Even though I did not really know Eliza, I considered her to be a sister to me. She was a brave individual, and I hope that we can follow her example. May she be with the ones who loved her. After the funeral, I notice a silhouette of someone I did not think that I would see... Sofia Charleston.
