“After a pause, the firstborn son of the Ozri family approached his father. I noticed now that his eyes were also red from crying. "Yes, Father," he said. "I want to say something." He bent over Koby's coffin and took a deep breath. "Koby," he said in a trembling voice, "my little brother." He burst into tears and the rest of the mourners joined him. "I want to ask you for forgiveness… forgiveness for years of alienation and lack of concern. You turned to paths that were unacceptable to us, and rather than trying to help you, each of us chose to look after his own interests. We should have tried to accept you; that way, perhaps, we could have saved you. You were a good person, I always knew it. You had a bigger heart than most people I know. Forgive me, dear brother." He burst into tears again. "Forgive me.”

“Maybe Weiss had explained the severity of the situation to him, and he was concerned about incriminating himself or his father.”
