[Only ten of them now. Ten of them... such a small number. That knowledge weighs on him more than anything else.
He can dwell on that later, though.
His first stop before anything else is at the chapel; there he spends some time putting up Mettaton's picture next to Sigrun's creation before making a spot for Shizaru and Aiden. There's so many of them here now... so many of them dead. It's terrible.
After that he goes off to help Cherryblod and Stan with making the food for the gathering, and when the gathering is in full swing Bruce just mostly sticks in the corners this time to eat his food and generally watch everyone from where he is. Cherryblod is back fussing, after all, and he's sure that nobody else needs another round of that. If there's anybody who looks like they need some company he'll go over, but otherwise he stays where he is and leaves himself open to conversation by others.
Then after the gathering, as they all retire, Bruce lingers for a while outside of his room, just... more or less staring at the rooms around him. It really, really feels like a pretty damn good reflection of his life now.]
