Chapter 25 - Shadows of the Gate

A grieving house fills with too many voices, and every one of them has a theory about the dead.

There is a particular exhaustion in tending someone else's sorrow — chopping onions, kneading dough, folding laundry while the living quarrel over the bones of the departed. Some come to mourn; others come to be seen mourning; one arrives certain the whole town should be afraid. How much of yourself do you owe the people who need you, and what's left when you've given it?
