And there were the bodies, too, to visit; what remained of physical forms, encapsulated in dirt or charred to ash, whatever one wished to do with them. But to some, they were just that — just bodies, skeletons, rotten down to the same core that belonged to everyone else. They were not loved ones anymore.
Maleah herself had grown cynical — she would not suggest it.
