[Laurens:]
I may not live to see our glory}

"No.." Johns eyes watered

[Eliza:]
Alexander, there's a letter for you from South Carolina}

Everyone was confused besides Alex

[Laurens:]
But I will gladly join the fight}

[Hamilton:]
It's from John Laurens. I'll read it later}

John broke down, sobbing hysterically in his seat

[Eliza:]
No, it's not}

"Then..who?" Thomas questioned

[Laurens:]
And when our children tell our story

[Hamilton:]
Will you read it?}

Thomas could've turned that into a snarky comment but he was overcome with curiosity

[Laurens:]
They'll tell the story of tonight

[Eliza:]
"On Tuesday, the twenty-seventh, Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens was killed in a gunfight against British troops in South Carolina.
These troops had not yet received word from Yorktown that the war was over.
He's buried here until his family can send for his remains.
As you may know, Lieutenant Colonel Laurens was engaged in recruiting three thousand men for the first all-black military regiment.
The surviving members of this regiment have been returned to their masters."}

"Oh Mon ami.." Lafayette sniffled

[Laurens:]
Tomorrow there'll be more of us

[Eliza:]
Alexander, are you alright?

[Hamilton:]
I have so much work to do}

"Don't...tell me you...shut...everyone else out..!?" John was ugly crying by now the snotty, deep hiccuping kind of crying

Alex said nothing, he gently pushed Johns head into his shirt and rubbed his back as everyone collected themselves
