Two people buried their companion here less than a week ago and continued traveling. You straighten the marker and clear debris from the base. If you run into a pair of travelers ahead, you'll know to ask if they need anything."

At the base, a small collection of offerings: a tin cup, a handful of spent brass casings, a faded ribbon.\n\nThe grave is recent. The soil hasn't fully settled.",
