This chapter is quietly devastating. The way the burial plot is presented so casual, so transactional makes the emotional weight land even harder. I really felt the sense of inherited silence and unnamed grief, especially in the line about being ā€œformally invited to lie down next to a mother she couldn’t remember.ā€ The ending lingers in that aching space between memory and absence. Beautifully written, and unsettling in the most human way.

Awe the goodbye disguised as a gift, subtle and somber.
