voice.
Veser Amaker Hatch.
Died on the second of January, in the year 2012.
Aged twenty years, nine months, and one day.
His guardian, Lee Falun, has yet to settle the funeral arrangements.
[A standard death notice, spoken in an even tone from the Undertaker. He's done this many times before. And thrice before with someone this close. Only in times like this does his voice fall into the mirthless tone it once held. A bitter and yet appropriate nostalgia.
There is a thick and lengthy pause before he speaks again.]
He was murdered - something not unusual to this city.
Another death I could not see; and another son is the victim.
He is safe here, now. He is safe on my table, and in my hands. And I will ensure that he sleeps peacefully.
Yet this recurrence remains distasteful.
