I did have the merest modicum of sympathy for the brother and sister
Not that any of them really deserved any sympathy, apart from the suicide victim, but the only other two whom I had the merest sympathy for was Sheila and Eric. They did seem genuinely sorry and ashamed of what they had done and wanted to take responsibility. In fact Eric was on his way out to try and find her, with Sheila's unspoken support.
