Katherine and Ulan try to clean a room

They started early the next morning.

Ulan took the north wall and Katherine the south. First things first: all the electronic devices, gadgets, tools, were to be packed in boxes. These were plastic and clear and easily labeled. Ulan had already set aside a separate box for data-balls.

Evie is buried. Belinda meets her family.

It was raining when Belinda exited the carriage.

Aunt Ulan was already waiting with an umbrella. They stood in the mud while the driver was paid, then made their way, slowly, to the odd dome in the middle of the cemetery.

( It's never sunny, is it? )
