"I guess...you heard everything, didn't you?" His breath caught, and he choked back something of a sob as he spoke. There was so much guilt, and so much rage, and so much fear. Kovu didn't know what he could do about any of it. What could he possibly do to fix any of this? Mufasa didn't want Kiara or Simba anywhere near him...and...he had good reason.

Kovu's head just fell even further. He couldn't hold it up, not with...not with all of this happening, all at once.
