<Why would Black be laughing? Thirteen innocent

<anymore).What's so funny about that?

I think you just said it: Imagine that your very best
friend has just been killed, his/her daughter, whose
godmother and appointed guardian you happen to be, has
been taken from you to a more or less unknown destiny.
You know that your and the dead's second best friend
has let the killer into the house, even if you don't
know why, but you are in a blind rage against this
friend, and simply want to confront him/her with what
he/she did and ask WHY?????
You find him/her and what happens? He/she indicates
you to a bunch of bystanders, dramatically asks "Oh,
XY, how could you help kill YZ", and somehow manages
to fake his/her own death, leaving you to the police.
This is so absurdly preposterous that the mind has got
to protect itself in some way in order not to
short-circuit. Hysterical laughter is one of those
emergency-self-defence-modes to protect your brain
from just going nuts.
IMHO.
