"He cannot be returned as he was, and any attempt at it would only prolong the torment, his and yours. Time only flows in one direction and everything is carried by its tides. What we can do is to help him find rest and comfort in his journey, and to make sure you won't go on your own one day with a heavy stone tied to your neck. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to be stuck at the bottom of the river of time."

She squeezed the man's hand comfortingly.

He quickly nods his head and looks down. "I...I understand." He chuckles a little. "Suppose...suppose it is a little Barmy...letting things get to me this much. Doing that...if I went and became a Deader, no one will remember him after that. Make the time we had pointless..."

He looks at Akh and stares with red eyes. "Just make sure he doesn't come back as a spirit or a zombie or something. He's...he likely suffered enough. Don't need him going thru more."

She nodded in full agreement. "I'll need some details to find him, then I'll do what can be done."

I think he's to brittle right now for any intervention of this kind. Let's see what he'll offer on his own. She quickly thought back, assuming the flayer would read it.

The man gives a brief description of the corpse in question, although it shouldn't be too hard to find it if it hasn't been cremated yet, given the nature of the death.

With that, he closes his eyes for a moment and takes a deep breath before dusting himself off from the scuffle. "I...I should get back now. Can I swing by in a few days and ask for you, miss? Just to make sure it's done?"

"You're welcome to. I shall have taken care of the matter by then. Ask for Akh Uur Hoon." She added a stoic smile.

He nods and clear his throat.

"Thank you." With that, he away from the edge and into the...subjective safety of the Hive.
