Hello? I just got into the Graveyard. The front gate's unlocked. It's not dangerous from what I've seen so far, and the graves are pretty neat to look at. I think the spirits are coming here with offerings. Can't say if that's true, but it's not entirely abandoned.

Oh, and I found a keypad on one of the tombs! There's something written on the tomb, but I don't know what language it's in. It could be a hint?

[He takes a photo of a metal grave with the following bit of poetry written on it:

¡Quién sostiene las luces que cruzan en la sombra
de esta mi densa soledad tan rara!

[He can see a world of islands. Islands make sense. Giant landmasses with no known sea boundary are unnerving. Only the ocean should be endless.]

Sounds like you guys have a lot of people in your world.

[Imagine having so many that space becomes an issue.]

Maybe. Doesn't sound like it's as many as Earth from what I've heard. It's mostly we just don't have a lot of land.

[Shrug. It's normal enough to him. Sea burial isn't just a practical consideration, it's also a spiritual one for a lot of people. Everyone's lives are connected to the sea. It only makes sense to return to it and give back what they borrowed for a little while.]

Different here, obviously. I'll have to go have a look at it sometime.

More than what was left on mine, either way.

[Was that how his world ended? Were there so many cemeteries that there was no where else to live? Was there anyone left to bury all of the dead?]

It's safe in here, at least. We could use it as a meeting place if we need to.

Meeting in a graveyard?

[He sounds skeptical only because that's not the sort of thing he'd expect most people to want. For a large group, it's not ideal - the light of the bonfire, or the relative comfort of the school are probably better settings.

But for one on one meetings somewhere quiet and less likely to be noticed, it's actually not a bad idea.]

I can think of a lot of better places, but don't let me stop you.
