I t had been Jae’s wish to have a Kanahari death rite performed should he ever be killed.

The day after his son was born, when the train was passing by the Armistice Line once more, I took Jae’s body to Krisenya and Taren where for four days they prepared him for the pyre. On the fifth day, I brought Rieka, Lily and my nephew to Gerhold and we burned his body.

And afterwards, when the sun had set and her tears had dried, Lily told Jonah to take her son.
